The command show sequence lists the residues that comprise each chain of the molecule. The command show symmetry lists the spacegroup and unit cell parameters. The RasMol slab command enables, disables or positions the z-clipping plane of the molecule. The program only draws those portions of the molecule that are further from the viewer than the slabbing plane. Values range from zero at the very back of the molecule to 100, which is completely in front of the molecule.
Intermediate values determine the percentage of the molecule to be drawn.
See set slabmode for additional parameters used in slabbing. The RasMol spacefill command is used to represent all of the currently selected atoms as solid spheres. The command, spacefilll true, the default, represents each atom as a sphere of Van der Waal's radius. The command spacefill off turns off the representation of the selected atoms as spheres. The temperature option sets the radius of each sphere to the value stored in its temperature field.
