    DESCRIPTION

    Adds the command "roundview" that gets a view (default is 0,
    the current view; you can get a stored view assigned to some
    other digit with the view command) and rounds to two decimal
    places (two digits to the right of the decimal point) the
    viewpoint matrix elements and rewrites the matrix elements
    on a single line with no whitespaces and a semicolon at the
    end. The saved space eases the making of a single line of
    PyMOL commands separated by semicolons. This enables rapid
    and interactive editing of chunks of PyMOL commands. The
    viewpoints are appended to the bottom of a text file in the
    present working directory called "roundedview.txt". The line
    could be easier to copy from this file than from the command
    history window in the external gui. A semicolon with nothing
    to the right of it at the end of a line of grouped commands
    is harmless.


    USAGE
     
    roundview [view, decimal_places, outname] 

    Note that the values in the [] are optional.

    The default values  for the arguments of the function
    are "0,2, roundedview.txt". 

    Simple one-line example with roundview.py script in current working
    directory--check by typing 'pwd' and 'ls *.py' on the command line. PyMOL
    should return 'roundview.py' in the lisf of files in the external (top) gui.
    Next, paste the following command on the external (top) commandline, hit
    return, and wait 5-10 seconds:

    fetch 1lw9, async=0; run roundview.py; roundview 0,1


    The following view setting will be returned without the blackslash.

    set_view (1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,0.0,-155.2,35.1,11.5,9.7,122.3,188.0,-20.0);

    Advanced option:

    Copy roundview.py to the folder ~/.pymol/startup and then
    the command will always be accessible. You may have to 
    create these directories. 


    18 elements of the view matrix (0-17)

    0 - 8 = column-major 3x3 matrix that rotates the model axes
    to camera axes 

    9 - 11 = origin of rotation relative to the camera
    in camera space

    12 - 14 = origin of rotation in model space

    15 = front plane distance from the camera

    16 = rear plane distance from the camera

    17 = orthoscopic flag 
    (not implemented in older versions)
