[chimerax-users] WebGL apps still in the pipeline?

[Oliver Clarke]

Hi,

Loving the regular improvements to ChimeraX! Just wondering regarding a web viewer - the original roadmap for chimeraX mentioned “WebGL apps” (http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/adcom15/chimera2.html <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/adcom15/chimera2.html>), and original Chimera had a limited capacity to export scenes as interactive html files. 

Is this still something that is in the pipeline for ChimeraX? I would really love to be able to export ChimeraX scenes in a format that I can share on the web, without the need for users to download and know how to use ChimeraX. Ideally the user would be able to rotate, zoom and slab, but perhaps not translate - that is, the center of rotation would be fixed. The idea would be to enable sharing of “interactive figure” kind of views of the molecule/map (perhaps allowing switching between multiple scenes/views within one session).

Cheers
Oli
