Custom atom groups

In some situations it may be relevant to use a unique visualization style or color to highlight a particular set of atoms, or to visualize only a subset of atoms from a molecule. This can be done by making an atom group selection. Next, a visualization style must be selected for the "Selection" entry via context menu or quick-style buttons (Figure 13.9). The selected atom group will now appear as an "Atom group" in the Project Tree view. This group of atoms can be hidden or shown, and the visualization changed, just as for the molecules in the Project Tree.
