    def space(space="", gamma=1.0, quiet=0, _self=cmd):
        '''
DESCRIPTION

    "space" selects a color palette (or color space).
    
USAGE

    space space [, gamma]

ARGUMENTS

    space = rgb, cmyk, or pymol: {default: rgb}

    gamma = floating point gamma transformation
    
EXAMPLES

    space rgb
    space cmyk
    space pymol

NOTES

    Whereas computer displays use the RGB color space, computer
    printers typically use the CMYK color space.  The two spaces are
    non-equivalent, meaning that certain RGB colors cannot be
    expressed in the CMYK space and vice-versa.  And as a result,
    molecular graphics images prepared using RGB often turn out poorly
    when converted to CMYK, with purplish blues or yellowish greens.
    
    "space cmyk" forces PyMOL to restrict its use of the RGB color
    space to subset that can be reliably converted to CMYK using
    common tools such as Adobe Photoshop.  Thus, what you see on the
    screen is much closer to what you will get in print.

    Analog video systems as well as digital video compression codecs
    based on the YUV color space also have incompatibilities with RGB.
    Oversaturated colors usually cause the most problems.

    Although PyMOL lacks "space yuv", "space pymol" will help PyMOL
    avoid oversaturated colors can cause problems when exporting
    animations to video.

        '''
DESCRIPTION

    "load_traj" reads trajectory files (currently just AMBER files).
    The file extension is used to determine the format.

    AMBER files must end in ".trj" 

USAGE

    load_traj filename [,object [,state [,format [,interval [,average ]
                             [,start [,stop [,max [,selection [,image [,shift
                             ]]]]]]]]]

PYMOL API

                  average=1,start=1,stop=-1,max=-1,selection='all',image=1,
                  shift="[0.0,0.0,0.0]")

NOTES

    You must first load a corresponding topology file before attempting
    to load a trajectory file.

    PyMOL does not know how to wrap the truncated octahedron used by Amber
    You will need to use the "ptraj" program first to do this.

    The average option is not a running average.  To perform this type of
    average, use the "smooth" command after loading the trajectory file.

DESCRIPTION

    "load" can by used to read molecules, crystallographic maps and
    other volumetric data, PyMOL sessions, and some other types of
    content.

USAGE

    load filename [,object [,state [,format ]]

ARGUMENTS

    filename = string: file path or URL

    object = string: name of the object {default: filename prefix}

    state = integer: number of the state into which
    the content should be loaded, or 0 for append {default:0}

    format = pdb, ccp4, etc. {default: use file extension}): format of
    data file    
    
EXAMPLES

    load 1dn2.pdb

    load file001.pdb, ligand

    load http://delsci.com/sample.pdb
    
NOTES

    The file extension is used to determine the format unless the
    format is provided explicitly.

    If an object name is specified, then the file is loaded into that
    object.  Otherwise, an object is created with the same name as the
    file prefix.

    If a state value is not specified, then the content is appended
    after the last existing state (if any).

    Supported molecular file formats include: pdb, mol, mol2, sdf,
    xyz, and others.

    Supported map formats include: xplor, ccp4, phi, and others.

    All supported file formats are covered in the reference
    documentation under File Formats.

DESCRIPTION

    "load_embedded" loads content previously defined in the current

USAGE

    load_embedded [ key [, name [, state [, finish [, discrete [, quiet ]]]]]]        

EXAMPLE

    embed wats, pdb
    HETATM    1  O   WAT     1       2.573  -1.034  -1.721
    HETATM    2  H1  WAT     1       2.493  -1.949  -1.992
    HETATM    3  H2  WAT     1       2.160  -0.537  -2.427
    HETATM    4  O   WAT     2       0.705   0.744   0.160
    HETATM    5  H1  WAT     2      -0.071   0.264   0.450
    HETATM    6  H2  WAT     2       1.356   0.064  -0.014

    "read_xplorstr" in an API-only function which reads an XPLOR map

    "state" is a 1-based state index for the object.

DESCRIPTION

    "fetch" downloads a file from the internet (if possible)

USAGE

    fetch code [,name [,state]]

ARGUMENTS

    code = a single PDB identifier or a list of identifiers.

    name = the object name into which the file should be loaded.

    state = the state number into which the file should loaded.

PYMOL API

    cmd.fetch(string code, string name, int state, init finish,
              int discrete, int multiplex, int zoom, string type,
              int async, string path, string file, int quiet)
              
NOTES

    When running in interactive mode, the fetch command loads
    structures asyncronously by default, meaning that the next command
    may get executed before the structures have been loaded.  If you
    need synchronous behavior in order to insure that all structures
    are loaded before the next command is executed, please provide the
    optional argument "async=0".

    Fetch requires a direct connection to the internet and thus may
    not work behind certain types of network firewalls.
