Usage:
( ~set | unset ) keyword

Some set options act as on/off toggles, while others assign parameter values. For the following keywords, set keyword enables the option and ~set keyword or unset keyword disables it:

• autocolor
• depth_cue
• independent
• singlelayer
• shadows
• silhouette

• bg_color
• dc_color
• dc_start
• dc_end
• projection
• silhouette_color
• silhouette_width
• subdivision

Whether to give each newly opened model a different color; same as use new color... in the New Molecules preferences.

Sets the background color; color can be none or any color name that specifies a single color. Any transparency in the color will be ignored. Equivalent to background solid.

Whether to use depth-cueing, front-to-back shading of the scene.

Sets the depth-cueing color; color can be none or any color name that specifies a single color. Any transparency in the color will be ignored.

Set the position of the depth-cueing ramp. Depth-cueing shading increases linearly from start to end, each expressed as a position relative to the front (0.0) and back (1.0) global clipping planes.

Whether to rotate models about their individual centers or a single collective center; set independent changes the center of rotation method to independent while ~set independent changes the center of rotation method to front center.

Whether to render only the topmost layer of all transparent items. Showing only the topmost layer rather than all transparent layers simplifies the display and is recommended for de-emphasizing transparent parts.

Which mode of projection to use: perspective, which makes farther-away objects smaller, or orthographic, which does not.

Whether to show interactive shadows.

Whether to show silhouette edges, outlines that emphasize borders and discontinuities.

Sets the color of silhouette edges; color can be none or any color name that specifies a single color.

Sets the linewidth of silhouette edges.

Sets subdivision quality, where a higher value increases the apparent smoothness of stick, ball-and-stick, sphere, and ribbon representations by increasing how many planar facets are used to approximate them.
