[chimerax-users] How to do repetitive task using Python or command line in ChimeraX?

[이서원]

Hello,

I think I'm good at dealing with the previous Chimera command line,
and I'm learning Python coding and ChimeraX little by little.

In Chimera, I was able to apply the Chimera command to a Python script
using runCommand.
So, I wrote some python scripts for Chimera, such as automatically
coloring or cropping maps and/or models based on the target
specification list in plain text.

However, I think there's no python modules like runCommand, and I
don't know how to repetitively input specifications by .cxc files.
(Do I have to make as many .cxc files as many as the number of the variables?)
Also I tried to understand the ChimeraX developer tutorial, but I
failed to import color functions on chimeraX Python Shell.
(I didn't understand how to import experimental API)

Is there any fancy way to create a .cxc file that executes by
sequentially inputting variables in the list?
Or, How to import python modules such as color functions?
