Hi,

Thank you for your response !

Reading again VMD manual, i have found how to "iterate over a range"
for a draw style property with tcl or python script.
Here is pseudo code :

for i 0..10
   mol modstyle 0 0 "VDW i" (tcl)
   moleculeRep.changeStyle("CPK 0 0 i")

(See "const char *repcmd()" in GraphicsFltkReps.h)

Cheers.

Pierre-Louis
