[chimerax-users] Color docking resulls by rank

Hi Vis,
	Since the information available from docking varies from program to program, there are no universal model attributes for the columns shown by ViewDockX, just a model meta-attribute, viewdockx_data, that contains a mapping from column names to values for that model.  I've written a Python script that takes that mapping and expands it into model attributes that can then in turn be used by "color byattribute" and other commands to color/select/whatever based on the attribute values.  I made a "ChimeraX Recipe" page describing how to use the script and a link to download it.  The recipe is here:  Make attributes from ViewDockX column information | ChimeraX Recipes <https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/vdx_attrs/vdx_attrs.html>

Or even by docking energy (score), but that's maybe too much. I could color each "submodel" by hand, but I don't know how to obtain color gradients, say distributed at even distances between blue and red.

In ChimeraX, however, once maps are tiled the entire grid rotates as a unit and the individual maps are fixed. Do you know if there is an option to have the maps spin individually instead, like in the original Chimera?

Each person of course has their own ChimeraX settings.  Everyone will also need write access to that directory.  There are no site-wide settings in ChimeraX.

I couldn?t find one in the settings window, but maybe a command could do that? (in that case I would simply need to add this command to the startup commands).
