[Debichem-devel] Bug#560412: png does not work as expected anymore with batch mode

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: pymol
Version: 1.2r1-3
Severity: important

  Hello,

  The png command (or the -g command-line argument) does not work
anymore when used in batch mode.

  Let's say I have a file structured this way: 

# (drawing commands)

ray 200,200
png save.png

  If I launch it using 

pymol -d '@ file.pml'

  I get a nice save.png file of a 200x200 ray-traced picture of my
nice protein. However, if I run:

pymol -c -d '@ file.pml'

  save.png is 640x480 and is rebuilt at the time of the png
command. That is really painful, since it stops me from using all my
pymol scripts (I can't afford to run them all by hand).

  I guess the graphics context is wrong somehow in command-line mode,
but I don't know more than this.

  It was working fine with the 1.1 version.

  Many thanks,

       Vincent
