[chimerax-users] XYZ format

[Mike Goodstadt]

Hi Elaine,
Considering your reply further:
Will ChimeraX include a agnostic plain XYZ import option?
We work with non-atomistic chromatin confirmations and so are interested in this option.
What would be your recommendation for a format for non-atomistic particle (xyz) coordinates?
Also, I have been looking into IMP’s RMF format and comparing it to UMM (http://www.scalalife.eu/content/umm.html <http://www.scalalife.eu/content/umm.html>).
Will RMF still receive official Chimera backing in ChimeraX?
Many thanks,
Mike
