Friends, I have written a script to draw lines between atoms (using distance monitor). I dnt want the distance label to be displayed with the pseudo bond. Kindly write me the way to remove the label. My script is below.
model=chimera.openModels.open('myavg.pdb') res=model[0].residues MAT=loadtxt('mymatrix',dtype=float) chimera.runCommand('focus') for x in range(len(res)): for y in range(len(res)): if x <> y : value=MAT[x,y]
if 0.5 < value > 0.75: b=distanceMonitor.newPseudoBond(res[x].atomsMap['CA'] [0],res[y].atomsMap['CA'][0]) b.drawMode=1 b.radius=0.05 #b.label=None I tried keeping this value as None and empty string but it doesnt help. b.color=getColorByName('red')
else: pass
else: continue
Hi Bala, distanceMonitor pseudobonds are designed to do exactly what you find them to be doing: showing an updated distance as the model is moved. What you need to do is make a normal pseudobond group for your own use that doesn't have all the special processing that distanceMonitor provides. Here is some example code: from chimera.misc import getPseudoBondGroup grp = getPseudoBondGroup("matrix bonds", associateWith=[model]) ...then later... b = grp.newPseudoBond(res[x].atomsMap['CA'][0], res[y].atomsMap['CA'] [0]) You will probably want to set some attributes of your group, like color and line type (dashed vs. solid). Here's some code for that: import chimera from chimera.colorTable import getColorByName grp.color = getColorByName("lime green") grp.lineType = chimera.Dash --Eric P.S. BTW, this question is probably better for chimera-dev than chimera-users...
