[chimerax-users] Depth cueing and silhouette

[Elaine Meng]

There is a ticket for this request in our database, #174.  It is old, but helpful to know that more people are interested in the feature.  I’ve wanted it too!

I have a structure with the silhouette true option and now I want to change the depth cueing to obtain a slice of the structure but with some of the fog coming from the background. The cartoon color disappear gradually as expected, however the black line of the silhouette is 100% or nothing, is there anything I am doing wrong or is it what I should expect? Is there anyway to obtain also that smooth disappearing of the silhouette?
