[chimerax-users] Appearance of thick edges

[Yazan Abbas]

Hi Elaine,

The thin silhouettes at the edges in my image are intentional, it is the
thicker silhouettes where the model curves that are bothering me. They seem
to intensify as the clipping changes, or when I rotate the model. In other
figures I am preparing, the silhouettes are even more intense especially in
cartoon helix tube mode and around the the curved parts of the tube (see
image attached). They just appeared at one point in my session and I can't
make them go away. They were definitely not there before even when
silhouettes were turned on.
