A preset is a predefined combination of display settings. The preset command can be used to apply a preset or to list the available presets in the Reply Log. See also: alias, represent, ribrepr, ribscale, surface, set, mcopy, copy, tips on preparing images

Presets are grouped by type:

• interactive - for interactive manipulation and analysis; may change which items (atoms, ribbons, surfaces) are displayed and how they are colored. The background color is set to black and the ribbon path method to B-spline.
  • 1 (ribbons)
  • 2 (all atoms)
  • 3 (hydrophobicity surface)
  
  
• publication - for generating presentation and publication images; do not change which items are displayed or their colors, but may change their styles. The background color is set to white.
  • 1 (sihouette, rounded ribbon)
  • 2 (sihouette, licorice)
  • 3 (depth-cued, rounded ribbon)
  • 4 (depth-cued, licorice)
  • 5 (flat ribbon) with both silhouettes and depth-cueing, and ribbon inside color set to white
  Publication presets may decrease interactive performance because they increase smoothness by using finer divisions to depict curved objects (ribbons, molecular surfaces, etc.). Individual display parameters are discussed in more detail in the tips on preparing images.
  
  
• custom - user-defined; directories in which to look for custom preset scripts are specified in the Presets preferences

The command preset apply has the same effect as choosing the corresponding entry from the Presets menu. A specific preset is indicated by type and either number or name (case-dependent). The command preset list sends a list of presets of the specified type (all types, if not specified) to the Reply Log. The keyword (apply or list), type, and name can be truncated to unique strings.

Examples:

preset app int all

preset apply pub 1
