[chimerax-users] Command line utility for .cmap

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Daniel,
Are you just using the open dialog from the File menu?  There is an "open" command "vseries" option for designating multiple maps as a volume series when they would not be automatically recognized as such.

Certainly you can use "open" to open maps and "save" to save them in a different format, if that is still desired.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

Is there a command-line utility, perhaps ChimeraX itself, that can generate a .cmap file from a number .mrc volumes? It would be nice to generate these on my processing machine and then only download the .cmaps to my laptop.
