color

Python operations available from the color module, used to change the color definitions, color maps, or edit the color scale. All rgb and color scale values should be in the range 0 to 1.

• categories(): Returns a list of available color categories.

• get_colormap(name): Returns a dictionary of name/color pairs for the given color category.

• set_colormap(name, dict): Change the color definitions for the colors in the given color category. The keys in dict must come from the keys listed by get_colormap for that color category, though not all keys need be listed. The values must be legal color names.

• get_colors(): Returns a dictionary whose keys are all the legal color names and whose corresponding values are the RGB values of the color, represented as a 3-tuple.

• set_colors(dict): Changes RGB values for colors in VMD. Keys must be chosen from the keys returned by get_colors(). Values must be 3-tuples of floats.

• scale_method(): Returns the current color scale method.
• scale_methods(): Returns a list of all available color scale methods.
• scale_midpoint(): Returns the current color scale midpoint.
• scale_min(): Returns the current color scale minimum.
• scale_max(): Returns the current color scale maximum.

• set_scale(method, midpoint, min, max): Change the color scale method, midpoint, minimum, or maximum. All properties may be set using keyword arguments.
