class Color(color)

Bases: object

Represent a color as either an integer (colormap index), string (color name or hex “RRGGBB” value), or an RGB value (tuple/list of 3 ints, values 0-255).

Provides the following properties and methods:
  • Color.index = int(Color) - mmcolor index of the closest color

  • Color.name = str(Color) - mmcolor name of the closest color

  • Color.rgb - (tuple of 0-255 ints)

  • equal = (col1 == col2)

When object is initialized from the RGB value, the Color.index and Color.name attributes are set to the closest color in the mmcolor palette.

__init__(color)
property hex_string

Returns the color as string of hex RGB values (RRGGBB). For example, pure red will be returned as “FF0000”.

property rgb_float

Returns a tuple of (R, G, B) for this color, each ranging from 0.0 to 1.0.

SURFACE_TYPE_NAME = {MolSurfType.vdw: 'van der Waals', MolSurfType.extended: 'extended radius', MolSurfType.molecular: 'molecular surface'}
__init__(handle, manage=True)
Parameters
  • handle (int) – An mmsurf handle to an existing surface

  • manage (bool) – If True, the mmsurf handle will be deleted when this object is garbage collected.

delete()

Immediately delete the mmsurf handle. After this method has been called, any further attempts to interact with this object will result in an MmException.

classmethod newMolecularSurface(struc, name, asl=None, atoms=None, resolution=0.5, probe_radius=None, vdw_scaling=1.0, mol_surf_type=MolSurfType.molecular)

Create a new molecular surface for the specified surface

Parameters
  • struc – The structure to create the surface for

  • name (str) – The name of the surface.

  • asl (str or NoneType) – If given, the surface will only be created for atoms in the structure that match the provided ASL. Note that only one of asl and atoms may be given. If neither are given, then the surface will be created for all atoms in the structure.

  • atoms (list or NoneType) – An optional list of atom numbers. If given, the surface will only be created for the specified atoms. Note that only one of asl and atoms may be given. If neither are given, then the surface will be created for all atoms in the structure.

  • resolution (float) – The resolution of the surface, generally between 0 and 1. Smaller numbers lead to a more highly detailed surface.

  • probe_radius (float) – The radius of the rolling sphere used to calculate the surface. Defaults to 1.4 if mol_surf_type is MolSurfType.Molecular or MolSurfType.Extended. May not be given if mol_surf_type is MolSurfType.vdw.

  • vdw_scaling (float) – If given, all atomic radii will be scaled by the provided value before the surface is calculated.

  • mol_surf_type (MolSurfType) – The type of surface to create.

Returns

The new surface

Return type

The volume name associated with the given surface :type: str

property isovalue

The isovalue for the given surface :type: float

property surface_type

A textual description of the type of surface. :type: str

property visible

show()

Sets the surface to be visible.

hide()

Hides the surface.

property front_transparency

The transparency of the front of the surface (relative to the workspace camera position). Measured on a scale from 0 (fully opaque) to 100 (fully transparent). :type: int

property back_transparency

setTransparency(val)

Set both the front and the back transparency.

property darken_colors_by_cavity_depth

Whether the colors on the surface should be darkened based on the cavity depth. :type: bool

property color_source

The source of the surface colors. Note that coloring()/setColoring() are recommended over directly manipulating color_source, as this will ensure that color_source is set correctly. :type: ColorFrom

property color_scheme

The color scheme used to determine surface colors. This value may be ignored unless color_source is set to ColorFrom.NearestAslAtom. Note that coloring()/setColoring() are recommended over directly manipulating color_scheme, as this will ensure that color_source is set correctly. :type: ColorBy

property color

The constant surface color. This value may be ignored unless color_source is set to ColorFrom.Surface and color_scheme is set to ColorBy.SourceColor. Note that coloring()/setColoring() are recommended over directly manipulating color, as this will ensure that color_source and color_scheme are set correctly. :type: Color

setColoring(coloring)

Set the surface coloring. Must be one of:

  • A ColorBy value other than ColorBy.SourceColor to color based on the nearest atom

  • A Color value for constant coloring

  • A list or numpy array containing a color for each vertex

coloring()

Return the current surface coloring. Is only guaranteed to return a non-None value if the surface coloring was set via setColoring. If the surface coloring cannot be determined, will return None.

Returns

The current surface coloring

Return type

ColorBy, Color, numpy.ndarray, or NoneType

property surface_area

Create a new isosurface from 3D grid data

To create a surface attached to a project entry, use:

from schrodinger import surface
from schrodinger.project.surface import ProjectSurface
pysurf = surface.create_isosurface_from_grid_data(*args, **kwargs)
projsurf = ProjectSurface.addSurfaceToProject(pysurf,
                                                              ptable,
                                                              row)

Where ptable is a Project instance and row is the desired ProjectRow instance

Parameters
  • dimensions (list) – The number of grid points in the X, Y and Z directions

  • resolution (list) – The gridpoint spacing in the X, Y and Z directions

  • origin (list) – The X, Y, Z coordinates of the grid origin

  • isovalue (float) – The value of the isosurface

  • nonzero (iterable) – Each item of nonzero is an (x, y, z, value) tuple indicating the value of the grid at the given x, y, z coordinate. All other gridpoints are set to zero. Either nonzero or grid must be supplied but not both.

  • grid (numpy.array) – A 3-dimensional numpy.array the same size as dimensions, the value at each point is the grid at that point. Either nonzero or grid must be supplied but not both.

  • surface_color (str or schrodinger.structutils.color.Color) – The color of the surface. If a string, must be a color name recognized by the Color class.

  • name (str) – The name of the surface - shows in Maestro’s Manage Surfaces dialog under Surface Name

  • comment (str) – The comment for the surface - shows in Maestro’s Manage surfaces dialog under Comments

  • surface_type (str) – The type of the surface - shows in Maestro’s Manage Surfaces dialog under Surface Type. Note - this has nothing to do with the molecular surface type (VDW, EXTENDED, MOLECULAR) property and is a free text field.
