Zoom In and Out on PyMol
This section provides a tutorial on how to zoom in and out the viewing window on PyMol.
Once the molecule structure is rotated to the ideal direction, you can zoom in the viewing window to see more details if the molecule structure is too large using the right mouse button or the two-finger spread gesture.
You can also zoom out the viewing window by reverse mouse or figure controls.
For example, if you want to zoom in the viewing window, place two figures on the touchpad, and spread them apart. You see the molecule structure image is enlarged, as if the viewing window is zoomed in at the center of the screen.
