[chimerax-users] Use of EnumOption

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Daniel,
	I have committed documentation for those options, which will show up in the next build.  I have also made it possible to use them without subclassing, by providing the 'values' keyword to the EnumOption constructor, or both 'values' and 'labels' to the SymbolcEnumOption constructor.

If you subclass EnumOption then you only specify "values" not "labels" -- text shown to the user will be the same as the values.  If you subclass SymbolicEnumOption, then you would specify both "values" and "labels", and "labels" is what is shown in the user interface.
