[Chimera-users] Split map from command line

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Arne,

  The keyboard shortcut “sm” for splitting a map based on the color zone coloring operates on the active volume — that is the one highlighted in Volume Viewer (it’s title above the histogram has a blue background).  If you are just opening maps then I think the most recent one is the active volume.  Ideally there would be a command and not just a shortcut to do this splitting operation.  I’ll add this to our new program ChimeraX.  You could use Python to do the splitting of say all maps by putting the following code in splitmap.py and using “open /path/to/script/splitmap.py”

from VolumeViewer import volume_list
from ColorZone import split_volume_by_color_zone
for v in volume_list():
	split_volume_by_color_zone(v)

  Tom
