Scripting

Scripts are written in JavaScript and can be loaded as files that have the extension .ngl or .js.

Example

Load the structure of PDB entry 1CRN from RCSB, add a cartoon representation and center the view on the structure.

stage.loadFile("rcsb://1CRN").then(function (o) {
  o.addRepresentation("cartoon");
  o.autoView();
});

Here, o is a StructureComponent instance.

Variables

The following variables are available in a scripting context.

stage  // the stage object
__name__  // the name of the script file
__path__  // the full path of the script file
__dir__  // the directory to the script file
