[Chimera-users] ChimeraX Render by Attribute tool

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Prathvi,
There is a different address for ChimeraX questions, chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu  CC'd here.

You can see the currently available tools listed in the ChimeraX User Guide, and links to their pages:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/index.html>
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/render.html>

... and the dates that they were added in the ChimeraX Change Log
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/wiki/ChangeLog>

... so yes, we just started adding Render by Attribute to ChimeraX, but you have to get a recent daily build of version 1.6, and it does not have many options yet.

Only ChimeraX (not Chimera) has a command to save attributes to a file.  In Chimera you have to use the GUI.  In ChimeraX we are specifically trying to make commands for all or nearly all actions you can perform with the GUI.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
