LengthBond

NAME

LengthBond - set length of bonds for display
SYNOPSIS

LengthBond expr expr
DESCRIPTION

Set the displayed length of all selected bonds. The first argument gives the start parameter, the second argument the end parameter, the parameter range 0 to 1 refers to the original size of the bond.

Note that this command does not actually modify coordinates that would e. g. be written to a coordinate file, it only changes the way bonds are displayed. The command is especially useful when drawing side chains in ribbon diagrams, where the bonds from CA to CB would otherwise not match with beta strands.
