Can function `m_sel()` select by eleno please?

[bioboot]

I would like to select atoms based on element number (first number of ATOM records). This would be similar to resi currently.

Something like:

model |>   m_set_style(
    sel = m_sel(eleno = 2:6 ),
    style = m_style_sphere() )

Thank you!

Hi, I can't install r3dmol in my current working computer, but you can try the following code:

model |>   m_set_style(
    sel = m_sel(index = 2:6 ),
    style = m_style_sphere() )

Thank you, I get:

Error in m_sel(index = 2:6) : unused argument (index = 2:6)

I am using r3dmol_0.1.2

Thank you for your report.
The index argument was added from 3Dmol.js v2.0.0, but r3dmol is still using the old version of 3Dmol.js v1.7.0. So the index argument are not support in r3dmol.

Thank you, what is update plan/timeline? Just wondering if I should code around this limitation or sit tight and wait for v2 in r3dmol. Thanks again!

Since the structure has changed significantly starting from v2.0.0, there are currently no plans to upgrade. Apologize for the inconvenience, but if possible, please consider alternative solutions to achieve your goals.
