[Chimera-users] command line "vol all style surface plane z, 60, 8

[Dieter Blaas]

Dear Tom, dear Elaine,

   thank you very much for your hints! They are most useful! So far I 
prefer Elaine's version as it requires the change of only one parameter 
to flipp back to seeing the entire volume like so:

volume #0 style surface planes z,64,64,1,*8*  >>> volume #0 style surface planes z,64,64,1,*128*

whereas Tom's requires two:

volume #0 region 0,0,*60*,127,127,*67*  >>> volume #0 region 0,0,*1*,127,127,*128 *

best, Dieter

In VolumeViewer there is the parameter 'Depth' but it is not accepted as parameter in the command line! Rater, adding one more number at the end of the command starts playing a movie of one slice after the other....
