FlatCAT is personal collection of scripts and utilities that extend functionality of PyMOL molecular visualization tool. The inspiration behind the library is to learn how to work with PyMOL and create a collection of useful functions for easy and convenient use. It is heavily inspired and borrows (i.e. shamelessly steals) ideas from Pymol ScrIpt COllection (PSICO).
The package can be installed by cloning the repository and running:
pip install .Once installed, you can import and initialize package in PyMOL by typing:
import flat.fullinitNote
To import FlatCAT package in PyMOL at startup, add this to your ~/.pymolrc.py file or add it in PyMOL under File → Edit pymolrc.
You can then use built-in help in PyMOL to get command documentation:
PyMOL> help flat
Documentation is available online at Read the Docs.
