Icons in the Nucleotides tab of the Toolbar allow changing the style of nucleotides in atomic models. They apply to the displayed models only (those with checkboxes in the Model Panel checked for themselves and any parents), and if those models contain a selection, only the selected parts. Style changes are only visible for nucleotide atoms that are displayed, such as with the Molecule Display icon or the show command. Some of the nucleotide icons also appear in the Molecule Display tab. See also: Actions menu, Presets menu, Basic Actions, making images
Clicking an icon shows the executed command in the Log. Nucleotide style icons act on the currently selected atoms, if any (specified as sel), otherwise the currently displayed atomic models (specified as a list of model numbers).
