Talk:PyMOL

DeLano Scientific LLC is proposed for deletion. I agree. PyMol is notable. The company is not. I have merged into PyMol the sentence describing the company. --Bduke 02:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

open source
It is debatable whether PyMOL can be classified as Open source, as according to the Open Source Definition, it may not satisfy rules #1, #5 and #6 - see the PyMOL license page here:

 * There are in fact two versions: The open source version and the precompiled builds. See its page on sourceforge: "PyMOL is a Python-enhanced molecular graphics program. It excels at 3D visualization of proteins, small molecules, density, surfaces, and trajectories. It also includes molecular editing, ray tracing, and movies. Open Source PyMOL is free to everyone."


 * Therefore I think it's ok to leave it as it it - or to add a note... -- Splette [[Image:Happyjoe.jpg]]  Talk  23:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree the source is freely available, but the license seems to be somewhat conflicting, as it seems in indicate that usage of the program (precompiled or not) requires the purchase of a subscription. Perhaps I'm reading this incorrectly...

 * No, the purchase of a subscription does not apply to the source code, only to the precompiled builds available on the website. -- Splette [[Image:Happyjoe.jpg]] Talk 00:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Needs to be updated to reflect a Schrödinger-era PyMOL
Unfortunately I don't think I'm qualified to do so, as I haven't even used any post 1.2r2 builds. Does anyone have current and/or concrete information about the direction Schrödinger is taking PyMOL that would be willing to help update this article.--Chemistry-grad-student (talk) 01:33, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Bad caption
I'm not qualified to fix it, but the caption for the image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pymol_8_view.png lists seven modes of operation, but there are eight different modes displayed. The caption should name all the modes. --Sean 22:49, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * The second to last is the one that's missing a description. The caption jumps from "Goodsell-like" (third to last image) to "B-factor putty" (last image).  I can't think off the top of my head what the second to last image is supposed to be, looks like a slightly glossier version of "Standard surface" to me.

 * I still don't know the correct name for this rendering mode, so I've just called it "glossy surface" for now. Hopefully we can find a better name for it at some point, although it does look exactly like a glossier version of 'surface' to my eyes at least.

PyMOL colors
Could be added WikiProject Chemicals/Elements coloring scheme? -DePiep (talk) 20:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
