[Chimera-users] Display Molecule Name

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Chris,
	Yet another way to do this, assuming you know the approximate x,y  
positions of your molecules on the screen would be to title them with  
the 2dlabels command (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/midas/2dlabels.html 
).  Assuming that your Molecule variable is 'm' then m.name is the  
molecule name (as shown in the Model Panel) and str(m) gives the same  
text as the help balloon would if the mouse were hovered over the  
Molecule.
