Next: Rendering Method
Up: Atom/Molecule Specific Popup Menu
Previous: Mol Status
This submenu allows you to selectively display portions of
a molecule based on relationships to the picked atom. Presently this
is the only way to define atom selections in a graphical fashion. All
other selections must be described via a text-based entry form. The
following criteria may be used. In each case, VMD will render only
those atoms which have the following property in common with the
selected atom
- Same Residue
- Same Chain
- Same Segname
- Same Fragment
In addition, the currently selected atom can be used as a representative
of the entire molecule by choosing to render only the following atoms of
the molecule.
- backbone - VMD should display backbone atoms only
- protein - only atoms comprising a protein should be displayed
- nucleic - only display atoms comprising nucleic acids
- water - only display water atoms in the molecule
- not waters - only display non-water atoms in the molecule
- heavy atoms- only display the heavy atoms of the molecule
Note that this submenu only affects the first representation (view) listed
in the Graphics form for the given molecule.
