[Chimera-users] Query regarding depth cueing

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Prathvi,
I don't know how good it would look, but there are options to adjust depth-cueing in the ChimeraX lighting command
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/lighting.html>

...that you could embed in the "perframe" command for gradual changes
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/perframe.html>

It would require you to do some experimentation and reading about how to use perframe.

Chimera has analogous commands, where depthcue control is in the "set" command.

<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/midas/perframe.html>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
