[Chimera-users] Visualizing

[Elaine Meng]

Another user's question just reminded me that in ChimeraX (but not Chimera) you can show axis crosshairs at the current center of rotation with command:

cofr showPivot true
- or -
cofr showPivot 5,.25

(where the second one specifies a bigger size for the crosshairs).  See "cofr" help:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cofr.html>

Apologies if it's too off-topic to respond with a feature that's only in ChimeraX, not Chimera.
Best,
Elaine
