[chimerax-users] Apply dust command to entire timeseries

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Brandon,
I haven’t tried this myself with volume series playback, but in principle you should be able to use “perframe” along with “surface dust” to automatically run dust-hiding at each display frame during playback.

<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/perframe.html>
<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/surface.html#dust>

E.g. could be something like:

perframe “surface dust [your surface dust arguments]”; vseries play [your vseries arguments]; wait <N>; ~perframe

…where <N> would be the number of frames it takes to play your volume series.  I hope this helps,
Elaine
