Pseudobond Group Attributes

Once a group of pseudobonds has been chosen in the left side of the Pseudobond Panel, clicking the attributes... button in the right side of the panel brings up a window that lists the pseudobond group's attributes and allows them to be changed.

While the pseudobond attributes panel controls properties of groups of pseudobonds, properties of an individual pseudobond can be modified by selecting the pseudobond and making changes with the Selection Inspector.

Pseudobond group attributes are:

• group-level color - color at the pseudobond group level; see coloring hierarchy
• changing group color removes individual colors - whether changing the group-level color (above) will change all pseudobonds in the group to that color and erase memory of any individually assigned colors (individually assigned colors override the group-level color; see coloring hierarchy)
  • false
  • true
• display - since this is an attribute of individual pseudobonds and the currently described group may contain more than one pseudobond, a variety of values may be present; if so, the value is reported to be -- multiple --. If one of the other options is selected, then all pseudobonds in the group will be changed accordingly. The if atoms shown option makes pseudobond display depend on the display of the flanking atoms.
  • -- multiple --
  • on
  • off
  • if atoms shown
• bond style - pseudobond draw mode. Since this is an attribute of individual pseudobonds and the currently described group may contain more than one pseudobond, a variety of values may be present; if so, the value is reported to be -- multiple --. If one of the other options is selected, then all pseudobonds in the group will be changed accordingly.
  • -- multiple --
  • wire
  • stick
• line width - pixel thickness of lines drawn to show pseudobonds in the wire draw mode
• stick diameter - angstrom thickness of pseudobonds in the stick draw mode
• halfbond mode - whether the two halves of a pseudobond are handled as separate entities; when halfbond mode is on, the color of each halfbond matches that of the attached atom. Since this is an attribute of individual pseudobonds, a variety of values may be present simultaneously; if so, the value is reported to be -- multiple --. If one of the other options is selected, then all pseudobonds in the group will be changed accordingly.
  • -- multiple --
  • on
  • off
• dashed lines enabled - whether lines drawn to show pseudobonds in the wire draw mode are broken
  • false
  • true
• length of odd dashes - if dashed lines are enabled, the unscaled pixel length of every other "dash" (can be a dot)
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
• length of even dashes - if dashed lines are enabled, the unscaled pixel length of the alternate set of "dashes" (can be dots)
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
• dash/space scale - multiplicative scale factor for all dashes and spaces if dashed lines are enabled
