Hi,

Here's how you can set the center of rotation to the geometrical center
of selection (use "measure center $sel weight mass" for the center of mass).

set sel [atomselect top "resid 23 25 57"]
set center [list [measure center $sel]]
foreach mol [molinfo list] {
   molinfo $mol set center $center
}

thanks to all who gave me hints...

centering using "c" works fine... but still, moving centre of rotation to
the centre of mass of the selection (or geometrical centre) would be nice
feature...

regards,
