[Chimera-users] Reset surface programatically from python

[Thomas Hrabe]

Thank you.

My script now works on my workstation.
On another linux machine where I am running the headless chimera, it is not processed.

I start it with

chimera —send tmp.py

but all I end up in is the chimera console.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Thomas
