Hi Roman,
I'm afraid I don't understand your problem; if you use that exact
procedure with "protein" for residueselection, it will apply the label
you feed the procedure to each residue in the protein. Is there some
other functionality you're after? You can accomplish many other tasks
using a similar loop by setting the labeltext to something that is
computed inside the loop; for example, replacing the draw line with
draw text [lindex $positions $i] [lindex [$sel get resname] $i]
would label each CA atom with the name of the residue in question.
Best,
Peter
