Introduction
The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate how residue selections can be visualized in the printable PDF output.
The PDF output allows to highlight annotations in different styles.
As a selection criterion we will use the spatial distance of C-alpha atoms
to a hetero group COMBO:Distance3DToHetero.

Creating PDF
The PDF-document is created with the type setting system WIKI:LaTeX
BUTTON:Texshade!.
Highlight spatially close residues
Open the dialog BUTTON:DialogSelectionOfResiduesMain! and select
the method COMBO:Distance3DToHetero.
Select the protein and type "FMN" into the control panel.
All residues in proximity to the flavine are highlighted.
Use the slider to adjust the distance.
Observe the effect of altering the distance in the alignment pane and the 3D backbone view.
Also activate the check-box "Overview ..." left from the horizontal scrollbar.
Creating an annotated selection
The residue selection needs to be turned into a named residue selection.
From the WIKI:Context_menu use
BUTTON:ResidueSelectionPopup#ACTION_MK_RESANO.
The resulting annotated residue selection is shown as a table containing the name and the sequence positions.
Add a table row with the tool-button at the top.
The figure shows the dialog for adding table rows.
Select ICON:IC_PDFTexshade.
Choose
\feature{top}{PROTEIN}{RESIDUES}{box[Red]}{peptide}
This TeXshade command marks the selected residues as a red box labeled with 'peptide'.
This row will be inserted into the table.
Click the ICON:IC_PDFTexshade in the table row header to get a preview for one single protein.
For generating a PDF with more than one protein, the dialog BUTTON:Texshade! is required.
