Sketch_stick [id an atom] or [object]
Unlike most of the other sketch commands, this is object oriented. Can be used to draw cylinders around the bonds of an object. If the real datablock .stick_radius exists, its value is used for the radius of the cylinder. In this way, Sketch_stick can also be used to stickify a C-alpha trace with thick cylinders. Both this command and Sketch_cpk keep the atomic colouring used in the defined object. Sticks can be drawn in line, solid or the computer's generic mode. Stick drawings, if they are complicated, don't rotate in real time on most workstations.
