[Chimera-users] Save marker sets from command line or python

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Kyle,

  Here is a Python script that adds a savemarkers command.  You open the Python file in Chimera (command open savemarkers.py) to register the command, then the command looks like

	savemarkers #1 ~/Desktop/mymarkers.cmm

I’ve added this script to the Chimera Python scripts page.

  Tom
