[chimera-dev] Fwd: [Chimera-users] Reading a data set from a text file

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Kyaw,
The only ways I can think of are:

- create a VRML file describing a surface with those points, read  
into Chimera
- write a Python script to be opened in Chimera that reads in the  
numbers and generates a Chimera surface model

However, I do not know the details about how to do either of these  
things. Others, feel free to chime in!
