[chimerax-users] Appearance of thick edges

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Yazan,
Those are “silhouettes” and you can toggle them on and off with the icon that looks like a seahorse outline in the Graphics tab of the Toolbar, or with the “set” command.

The thickness and color of the lines are also adjustable with the “set” command.

See also “making images” list of image-related commands:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
