Comment:

I changed the title because this "tube" suggestion was different than the tube helices. It would have been a preset for an overall tube like Chimera1 licorice. It would still be a useful preset, but should be called something else if we continue to use "tube" to mean the bendy-cylinder helix representation. The main point is eventually it would be nice to have presets and eventually user-defined cartoon styles, i.e. named sets of custom cartoon style settings.

  • Ticket #297 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 Would be nice to have a round cross-section cartoon/ribbon style; besides being generally useful, it would allow making images despite ribbon orientation problems.
     1Would be nice to some cartoon style presets.
    22
    3 It would be great if it just used some default radius, if unspecified, and was implemented so that you don't need a separate style keyword.  Maybe something like
     3Some possibilities for basic presets:
     4(1)default (everything default)
     5(2)licorice (could be named something else) with a round cross-section throughout, kind of like the coil in the default representation, but probably with a larger radius. Something like what is currently achieved with:
     6cartoon style arrows f wid 1 thick 1 x round
     7(3)helix tubes, increased sides (car style modeh tube sides 18)
    48
    5 cartoon <spec> <style> other keyword options
    69
    7 e.g.
    8 
    9 cartoon tube
    10 cartoon #4 tube
    11 cartoon tube tubeRadius 1.5
     10I was thinking in analogy to the convenient "lighting" command presets, although unlike lighting, "cartoon" can also take an atomspec.  Syntax could be similar to lighting presets, or maybe we'd need a separate cartoon subcommand "cartoon preset" ...
