[chimerax-users] Scripting Resources

[Eric Pettersen]

In the long term we do intend to have something along those lines in lieu of the simple “Python scripts page <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts>” that we have for Chimera. It may be awhile though.  We also have to work out how to allow relevant people to edit it without allowing everyone on the internet to edit it…

We're generally looking for a script library/repository similar to what PyMOL's wiki has (https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Script_Library <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.
