remove atoms from rendering

[Yun Liu]

I'm new to Beautiful Atoms and thanks for building such a nice piece of visualization code.

I want to visualize some isosurfaces from (0,0,1) perspective, but some atoms are blocking the view. Is there a way to remove the atoms, say that have z>0.5, from the rendering process, without having to modify the input structure?

Thanks.

Hi, 

You can hide an atom by setting the `show` value.

In the Blender Python console,

# positions[:, 2] is the z coordinate

# atoms is the name of your batoms object.

atoms[atoms.positions[:, 2]>0.5].show=False

Best,

Xing

Thanks. It worked like a charm!
