Ah! If I use orthographic projection mode in VMD, I can simply use the
rotate_matrix in molscript like this:
transform atom *
by centre position atom *
by rotation
0.835655 0.477917 -0.270702
0.534086 -0.591997 0.603565
0.128199 -0.648951 -0.749955 ;
And the views are perfectly identical! That's already great.
As far as I can see, molscript only has an orthogonal projection mode. I
browsed through the manual, but there is only a parameter to adjust
depth-cueing.

Eckhart
