[chimera-dev] set bond to wire and specific width

[Conrad Huang]

Unfortunately, Chimera cannot do what you want.  The "linewidth" 
attribute belongs to the model, which means all bonds in the same model 
must share the same width when drawn in wire mode.  The "radius" 
attribute is only used for drawing in stick mode.  Sorry.
