I'd like to know if this can be done graphically as well. I've just generally
just calculated the appropriate transformatoin matrix for precision operations
like that. (See node190 below)
To use manual translation:
You start with using atomselect to select the set then you can use the
commands instantiated by the selection:
#select all atoms in in top molecule loaded
set allatom [ atomeselect top "all" ]
set tmatrix { 1 0 0 0 } { 0 0 -1 0 } { 0 1 0 0 } { 0 0 0 1 }
#rotate about global x axis +90 deg (1pi rad)
$allatom move $tmatrix
