Selections#

MolSysViewer delegates selections to MolSysMT.

A selection is an expression that identifies atoms (and related topology items) from the currently loaded molecular system.

When you use selections#

Selections appear in viewer operations such as:

  • view.hide(selection)

  • view.show(selection)

  • view.isolate(selection)

  • view.zoom(selection)

  • view.new_region(selection, ...)

Syntax#

Selections are parsed by MolSysMT when syntax="MolSysMT" (the default). Keep selection expressions consistent with your MolSysMT workflow.

If you already use MolSysMT, you can reuse the same selection strings here.
