[chimerax-users] ChimeraX surface coloring

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Nadishka,
Although it is a planned feature, radial coloring is not yet implemented in ChimeraX.  Currently you can color surfaces by map value and by zone, but not by distance from a point or axis.

Types of coloring summarized here:

Glad you like ChimeraX!
