[chimerax-users] ChimeraX Python Scripting for EM Maps

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Steven,
Maybe this page in the programmer documentation (and links therein) would help... it includes "fitmap," at least:

<https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/core/commands/user_commands.html>

I don't create the programmer documentation, but since the page says version 1.2 I'm hoping it's reasonably up-to-date.

The "save" link doesn't say much, however, so somebody else will have to give more information on writing files.
Best,
Elaine

> Hello!  I was hoping to ask for some help in Python Scripting in ChimeraX.  Specifically, I am trying to fit structure files (.PDB) to electron density maps (.MAP).  Is there a way to do this in .PY scripts in ChimeraX?  I can’t seem to find such a command like “fitmap” in the documentation here (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/modules.html).  Additionally, it seems like the “Read and Write PDB Files” page (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/bundles/atomic/src/pdbio.html) of the documentation page hasn’t been updated.  Is there another place that outlines how to save structures?
