[Chimera-users] TER Cards and Rainbow Colors

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Albion,
If you just want to undisplay the dashed lines signifying chain  
breaks but still have Chimera understand that the parts belong to the  
same chain, remove the TER cards and use the command

~longbond

see http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/longbond.html

In older versions of Chimera it was "longbond" (without the tilde),  
but we decided it made more sense for ~longbond to undisplay these  
connections.
