[chimerax-users] Restoring views and how to use clip

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Yasan,

  The problem reproducing the clip plane positions is because the "clip list" command was reporting the position of the far clip plane with the wrong sign.  I have fixed this bug (in tonight's daily build).

Is there a single command that outputs all the necessary information in an appropriate format needed to restore a view?

For example, if I enter the command clip list, and the output is  Using 2 clip planes: far -34.697, near -45.723, executing the command clip far -34.697 near -45.723 does not restore the same view. Am I missing something?
