Hi Yao,
	There's no way to do this directly in Chimera now, though I am  
working on a tool that will make it easy to produce such a key -- but  
it's not ready yet.  For now you will have to use an external image- 
processing program such as GIMP or photoshop to add the key.  There  
is some basic advice for doing this in this message:  http://
