[chimerax-users] Scripting Resources

[llehmann at uoregon.edu]

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply! We're generally looking for a script 
library/repository similar to what PyMOL's wiki has 
(https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Script_Library). Some scripts 
we use already have a command in ChimeraX with the same functionality. 
An example of a script we use in PyMOL would be BbPlane, however we're 
more interested in script libraries as a general resource rather than 
replacing exact scripts, as we use so many different scripts in the 
course. Like I said, I understand that ChimeraX is still in early stages 
so we're more looking to get a sense of whether this kind of feature 
will ever exist.

Best,
Lauren Lehmann
Biochemistry Graduate Student
