[chimerax-users] Making new bonds

[Tristan Croll]

Currently, I think the shell is your friend here. First, select the two sulfurs. Then, in the shell:

from chimerax.atomic import selected_atoms
sel=selected_atoms(session)
m = sel.unique_structures[0]
m.new_bond(*sel)

I found some command-line tools in this page (new-bond), but this seems to be not so straightforward to use - https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/bundles/atomic/src/atomic.html#chimerax.atomic.structure.AtomicStructure.
