Visual presets are powerful ways to create advanced visualizations with SAMSON in just a few clicks.

Visual presets

Each Visual Preset consists of a series of steps, and each step is composed of four choices:

• A selection of nodes to which the step applies (e.g., "Receptor", "Ligands", "Heavy atoms and polar atoms in ligands")
• An optional set of actions applied to the selection (e.g., "Hide", "Label atoms", "Zoom on selection", etc.)
• An optional visual model applied to the selection (e.g., "Van der Waals", "Licorice", "Ribbons", etc.)
• An optional color scheme applied to the selection or the visual model (if added) (e.g., "Per chain", "Per occupancy", "Constant", etc.)

The included visual presets reproduce typical choices made to produce images for publications (e.g. 'Protein-ligand').

Creating visual presets

You can create new visual presets by modifying the existing ones or starting from scratch entirely.
