RE: [PyMOL] label positions, centered, left, or right

Seth,

Yes, via the "label_position" setting which specifies x,y, and z
alignment of labels.

Values in the range [-1,1] imply alignment.  Beyond that, it is a
translation along camera axes in model-space dimensions. =20

# for left alignment 0.75 A in front of atom

set label_position, [-1,0,1.75]

# for right alignment directly on atom

set label_position, [1,0,0]

# for left alignment 1 A to right of atom

set label_position, [2,0,0]

# for center alignment 2 A below atom

set label_position, [0,-3,0]

# centered 3 A in front of atom

set label_position, [0,0,4]

etc.

Cheers,
Waren
