# STI, STICKS

NAME
STI, STICKS - set the radius of sticks.
SYNOPSIS
STI value
STICKS value
DESCRIPTION
Set the stick radius. The stick radius is used to draw selected bonds as sticks. To draw bonds as sticks, execute the command BONDS STICKS (short form: BON STI). Default radius is 0.15 angstroms, but this may be changed in the configuration file .garlicrc .
One and only one stick radius is assigned to each loaded structure. Thus, after the command BONDS STICKS, all selected bonds will be drawn as sticks of the same radius. The stick radius may be changed separately for each structure. The command STICKS affects only the structure which is currently "caught" (see the command CATCH ) .
EXAMPLES
The image below shows the adrenalin molecule drawn using default stick radius and default ball radius. Bonds were drawn as sticks (BON STI) while atoms were drawn as specular balls (ATO BA2).
RELATED COMMANDS
BONDS is used to define drawing style for bonds. SSB is used to define drawing style for disulfide bonds. ATOMS is used to define drawing style for atoms. PROBE is used to define the bond probe radius (the alternative way to draw bonds as sticks).
