Usage:
transparency
spec percent
[ target string ]
The transparency command sets the transparency of
atomic representations, molecular surfaces, and volume (map) isosurfaces
to the specified percent, where 0% is completely opaque
and 100% is completely transparent, without otherwise changing colors.
There are limitations
in rendering transparency.

The target option allows acting on only
a subset of the possible displays of a given atom, residue, etc.
The string can be any combination of the following letters,
without commas or spaces:
- a – atoms/bonds
(shown for bonds in halfbond mode)
- b – bonds-only
(shown for bonds not in halfbond mode)
- c or r
– cartoons (ribbons) (divisible to per-residue segments)
- s – surfaces
(molecular surfaces divisible to per-atom patches, other surface models
such as volume isosurfaces)
- p – pseudobonds-only
(shown for pseudobonds
not in halfbond mode)
The default is target s, surfaces only.
Alternatively,
targets can be specified with one or more of the following keywords
as a comma-separated list at the end of the command:
- atoms – equivalent to target a
- bonds – equivalent to target b
- cartoons or ribbons – equivalent to target c
or target r
- surfaces – equivalent to target s
- pseudobonds – equivalent to target p
- All – equivalent to target abcsp
