Color schemes

Data graph nodes in SAMSON may have color schemes that apply to themselves and their descendants. Color schemes may be used to e.g. assign a constant color to a node, color atoms by residue, chain, etc. or based on node properties (e.g. temperature factor, atom velocity, etc.).

Color schemes can be applied to structural nodes (e.g. to modify the colors of atoms and bonds) and to visual models (e.g. to colorize the secondary structure).

When a color scheme is applied to a node, all the node’s descendants are affected.

Color schemes

Three types of color schemes are available:

• Constant: the same color is uniformly applied
• Constant (illustrate): the same color is uniformly applied to most of the atom types and is lightened for some atom types.
• CPK: the classic Corey-Pauling-Koltun color scheme
• Per attribute: the color is determined based on an atom attribute (e.g. temperature factor, residue, etc.):
  • SBDColorSchemePerChainID
  • SBDColorSchemePerChainIllustrate
  • SBDColorSchemePerFormalCharge
  • SBDColorSchemePerOccupancy
  • SBDColorSchemePerPartialCharge
  • SBDColorSchemePerResidueHydrophobicity
  • SBDColorSchemePerResidueSequenceNumber
  • SBDColorSchemePerResidueType
  • SBDColorSchemePerSecondaryStructureType
  • SBDColorSchemePerSideChainCharge
  • SBDColorSchemePerSideChainPolarity
  • SBDColorSchemePerTemperatureFactor
