[chimerax-users] Set view

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Aritz,
To obtain current camera & model matrices, use command:

view matrix

…and then, conversely, you can use the same command with the matrix or matrices specified to set the positions. For details see:
<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#matrix>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
