[Proteopedia] New Feature: Label Offsets (better positioning of labels)

[Eran Hodis]

Hi All,

An addition to the "labels" tab in the Proteopedia Scene Authoring Tools now allows you to change the location of a label relative to the atom to which it points.  

In the "labels" tab, look for the "label selected atoms" field.  You'll find that once you select an atom and add a label, just below the drop down selection menus for defining a label color and size, you can change the label position by defining the x and y offsets relative to the atom.

This feature can be really helpful for getting perfect label positioning.

See the page for 2q66 for an example where label positions were played with to get the right effect:

(the section with the green links was added by David Goodsell and featured in this month's Molecule of the Month at the PDB -- I just added labels to his scenes)

Happy labelling!


Best,
Eran
