[chimera-dev] Model panel rename

[Eric Pettersen]

Yeah, my mail app must have changed the should-have-been-identical double quotes to a starting double quote and an ending double quote.  Since the quotes don’t match, the entire remainder of the file becomes part of the “string” and Python complains about never finding the end quote.

Anyway, about the buttons, ‘note’ and ‘select’ are very analogous to ‘rename’, just instead of renameCmd use noteCmd and selectCmd respectively.  ‘show only’ and ‘hide’ are only slightly different:

# ‘show only'
from ModelPanel import setModelFieldOnly
setModelFieldOnly(mp.selected(moleculesOnly=False, groupsOkay=True), ‘display’)

# ‘hide'
from ModelPanel import setModelField
setModelField(mp.selected(moleculesOnly=False, groupsOkay=True), ‘display’, False)

In particular, there’s a bunch of timed waits to try to get accurate final size information for the dialog before it finally gets moved to its tiled position.  So, after a second or so, you might be able to move the model panel so that it’s upper left corner is at pixel position x,y (with the origin at the upper left of the screen) with:
