Hi, I'm updating protein problems for the upcoming semester and translating
the instructions from Chimera to ChimeraX.  I can't find the Ramachandran
plot in ChimeraX.  Is there an add-in that I'm missing?  I don't see it
mentioned in the guide and can't find it in the help section.  If it's not
there, is there a reason it was dropped?  The students find it instructive.
Thanks,
Ralph
