The ColorBonds
command sets the color for all covalent bonds between atoms shown in BallStick
style.
In addition to the standard rainbow colors, two additional color options are provided:
- Element colors the bonds like the two atoms forming the bond. If the atom colors differ, the bond color changes halfway between.
- Order colors the bonds according to the bond order. How bond orders are mapped to colors is explained at the AddBond command.
Arrow cylinders used to visualize bonds to metal ions
are not affected by the ColorBonds command.
Example 1:
ColorBonds Gray
Color all bonds in balls&sticks gray.
Example 2:
ColorBonds Element
Color every bond like the bonded atoms.
Example 3:
ColorBonds Order
Color all bonds in balls&sticks such that the bond order is indicated.
