trans
Python operations available from the trans module, used to
change the view of the rendered scene.  
- rotate(axis, angle): 
	Rotate the scene about the specified axis by the given angle.  
axis should be 'x', 'y', or 'z'; angle is measured in degrees.
 
- translate(x, y, z): 
	Translate the scene by the given x, y, and z values.
 
- scale(factor): 
	Scale (zoom) the scene by the given factor.
 
- resetview(molid): 
	Sets the center, scale, rotation for all molecules so that the 
viewpoint is centered on the molecule with the given id.
 
- get_center(molid):
- set_center(molid, vector): 
	Get/set the coordinates of the center of the given molecule as a
Python list.
 
- get_scale(molid):
- set_scale(molid,scale): 
	Get/set the scale factor used to display the given molecule.
 
- get_rotation(molid):
- set_rotation(molid, matrix): 
	Get/set the rotation matrix for the given molecule as a 16-element
Python list in row-major order.
 
- get_trans(molid):
- set_trans(molid, vector): 
	Get/set the global translation applied to the given molecule as a 
	Python list.
 
- is_fixed(molid): 
	Returns whether the molecule with the given id is fixed; that is,
whether it is affected by translation, rotation, or scaling.  Fixed molecules
may still be animated (see is_active in the animate section).
 
- fix(molid, trueorfalse): 
	Make the molecule with the given id fixed or not.
 
- is_shown(molid): 
	Returns whether the molecule with the given id is shown or not.
 
- show(molid, trueorfalse): 
	Make the molecule with the given id shown or not.
