+    A handle to a *PyMOL object* (*PyMOL model*), usually created by the static
+    :meth:`from_structure()` method.
+
+    This class conveniently provides thin wrappers around *PyMOL* commands that
+    allows *NumPy*-style atom indices to select atoms instead of *PyMOL* selection
+    expressions.
+    The following *PyMOL* commands are supported:
+
+    - :meth:`alter()`
+    - :meth:`cartoon()`
+    - :meth:`center()`
+    - :meth:`clip()`
+    - :meth:`color()`
+    - :meth:`desaturate()`
+    - :meth:`disable()`
+    - :meth:`distance()`
+    - :meth:`dss()`
+    - :meth:`enable()`
+    - :meth:`hide()`
+    - :meth:`indicate()`
+    - :meth:`label()`
+    - :meth:`orient()`
+    - :meth:`origin()`
+    - :meth:`select()`
+    - :meth:`set()`
+    - :meth:`set_bond()`
+    - :meth:`show()`
+    - :meth:`show_as()`
+    - :meth:`smooth()`
+    - :meth:`unset()`
+    - :meth:`unset_bond()`
+    - :meth:`zoom()`
+
+    Instances of this class become invalid, when atoms are added to or
+    are deleted from the underlying *PyMOL* object.
+    Calling methods of such an an invalidated object raises an
+    :exc:`ModifiedObjectError`.
+    Likewise, calling methods of an object, of which the underlying
+    *PyMOL* object does not exist anymore, raises an
+    :exc:`NonexistentObjectError`.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    name : str
+        The name of the *PyMOL* object.
+    pymol_instance : module or SingletonPyMOL or PyMOL, optional
+        If *PyMOL* is used in library mode, the :class:`PyMOL` or
+        :class:`SingletonPyMOL` object is given here.
+        If otherwise *PyMOL* is used in GUI mode, the :mod:`pymol` module is given.
+        By default the currently active *PyMOL* instance is used.
+        If no *PyMOL* instance is currently running, *PyMOL* is started in library mode.
+    delete : PyMOL, optional
+        If set to true, the underlying *PyMOL* object will be removed
