Ribbons Display
Remove
Display only
Display, remove, or display only a ribbon representation in the current selection. The ribbon mode is chosen among the five following options: 'ribbons', 'strands', 'cartoon', 'trace, and 'backbone'.  Different from RasMol, the backbone representation cannot be displayed simultaneously with an other ribbon representation.  Nevertheless, this is accomplished by entering the scripting information manually.
Ribbons
Strands
Cartoons
Trace
Backbone
Set the current ribbon representation.
See the RasMol commands 'ribbons', 'strands', 'cartoon', 'trace', and 'backbone'.
Settings Beta arrows
Dash
Dots
Height
Radius
Strand number
Structure
Temperature
Width
Wire
Possible options are highlighted according to the possibilities of the current ribbon representation.

See the RasMol command 'set cartoon', ribbons', strands', cartoon, 'trace', and 'backbone'.

Envelops Display dots
Remove dots
Display or remove dots in the current selection. See the RasMol command 'dots'.
To select all dots, i.e. all atoms represented with dots, select the dot envelop in the atom sets box and click the adjacent "new" icon. The dot set is created dynamically at running time by RasTop.
Van der Waals
Conolly
Control the display of a van der Waals or a solvent accessible surface around the currently selected set of atoms.  See the RasMol parameters 'radius' and 'solvent'.
Dot size
Radius size
Dot density
See the RasMol parameter 'dot <value>'.
See the RasMol parameter 'radius'.

Section
See the RasMol parameter 'backfade'.
Autodepth Control the display of depthcue vectors in slab mode. Vectors have a stronger light intensity as they are closer to the front plan. Deep vectors have a decreased light intensity that makes them sometimes difficult to see in slab mode. In autodepth mode, the maximum light intensity is set to the slab plan.
