atomselect

Atom selection is the primary method to access information about the atoms in a molecule. It works in two steps. The first step is to create a selection given the selection text, molecule id, and optional frame number. This is done by a function called atomselect, which returns the name of the new atom selection. the second step is to use the created selection to access the information about the atoms in the selections.
