- NONE
See also the keyboard COLOR TYPE instruction (Section 3.59)
1.4.4.4 – SOLID STYLE
This plot style is similar to the original pluto solid-style. Atom plot radii are assigned as a
fraction of their associated covalent radius. The fraction of the covalent radius used for
plotting is a function of the click position in the menu box and ranges from 0.5 to 0.1 in 0.1
steps.
1.4.4.5 - ROD STYLE
Default settings of the ROD style give thicker than usual bonds. The ROD-style brings out
the three-dimensional character of molecules more clearly.
1.4.4.6 - CPK STYLE
CPK style plot with van der Waals radii assigned to atoms. Depending on the click position
in the menu box:
- Left - CPK Plot
- Right - CPK + Stick Plot
1.4.4.7 - STRAW STYLE
STRAW style plot with small atom radii assigned to atoms. The Bond-Taper feature is not
used in this mode.
1.4.4.8 - STICK STYLE
This option provides a fast 'bonds-only' plotting style.
1.4.4.9 - BLACK-AND-WHITE COLOR
Black-and-White Color in PLUTON
Three distinguishing options for plot-items using black-and-white colors are available:
1. BWC global
2. BWC atom-types
3. BWC residues
4. BWC ARU's
The associated patterns may be combined with the 'COLOR' options.
Current BWC & COLOR setting may be inspected with the
ListTypes and
ListARU
instructions from the PLUTON/GeomTy sub-menu or the keyboard instructions
LIST
TYPES and
LIST BONDS.
1 - BWC Global
1.4.4.12 - OVERLAP MARGIN
Clicking in one of the three boxes determines the overlap margin applied for overlapping
items (bonds, atoms). The Preset values are: 0, 0.05, 0.10. See also the keyboard instruction:
OVERLAP (MARGIN mrg[0.10]) (SHADOW shad[0.10])(ON/OFF)/BA/BB[ON]
1.4.4.13 - PLOT RESOLUTION
The click position determines the resolution (i.e. parameters) at which the drawing is
calculated. The highest resolution (right) requires more computing time than the lowest
resolution (left). See also keyboard instruction (
3.5.67) -SEGMENT (plotstep (substep)
)
1.4.4.14 - LABEL ARU
Label ARU Toggle
1.4.4.15 - LABEL CELL
Label Unit Cell Toggle
1.4.4.16 - LABEL ATOM
Label atoms toggle
1.4.4.17 - LABEL (H)ATOMS TOGGLE
Global atom labeling toggle.
Clicking on the right box will also include H-atoms in the
labeling.
1.4.4.18 - DefineCgEnd
With this option, a centre-of-gravity is introduced in the plot determined by the clicked
atoms. This pseudo atom can subsequently be used as a reference for the definition of bonds
and the calculation of bonds, angles etc.
Procedure:
1. Click on the 'Define' menu box.
2. Click on the atoms determining the centre of gravity.
3. Click on the 'End' field to terminate the sequence.
Alternatively issue the keyboard instruction:
DEFINE CG at1 at2 at3 at4 at5
1.4.4.19 - STEPWISE ROTATION ABOUT Z
Stepwise rotation about Z (perpendicular to image). Stepsize and direction based on click
position.
1.4.4.20 - STEPWISE ROTATION ABOUT Y
Stepwise rotation about the horizonatal axes (Y). Clicking in the central area gives small
rotation steps.Clicking further from the center corresponds with larger rotation steps.
Clicking left from the center or right from the center determines the sense of rotation.
1.4.4.21 - STEPWISE ROTATION ABOUT X
Stepwise rotation about the horizonatal axes (X). Clicking in the central area gives small
rotation steps.Clicking further from the center corresponds with larger rotation steps.
Clicking left from the center or right from the center determines the sense of rotation.
1.4.4.22 - COLOR OPTIONS
The assignment of color to plot-items can be done at four levels.
1 - Global Color
2 - Per Atom-type
3 - Per Residue-type
4 - Per ARU
Option 1:
Instruction:
COLOR BLACK/RED/GREEN/BLUE/YELLOW/ORANGE/VIOLET/BROWN
Option 2:
Color assignment is done by default on the basis of element-type
The default setting may be changed with:
COLOR TYPE atom-type col (atom-type col ..)
Color is switched on/off with
COLOR (on/off)
or implicitly with
STRAW COLOR
This option may be combined with the 'Black-and-White' Patterns:
BWC (on/off)
Option 3:
Residues (i.e. unconnected species) can be displayed with differing colors with:
COLOR RESD
Option 4:
ARU's may be given distinguishing colors with instructions such as
ARU red 1555.01 1556.01
