[chimerax-users] Consultation about developing plug-ins in ChimeraX

[Chen, Xiang]

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the
Memorial University of Newfoundland.
I am currently engaged in developing and researching VR applications to
visualize biological microstructures.
I learned that Chimerax is a relatively mature piece of software,
containing many excellent functions and features. So I'd like to know:
1. Is ChimeraX completely open-source and free? I will only use it for
research and non-profit purposes.
2. If ChimeraX is open source, is there a description or summary of the
structure/principles of the source code? (In order to learn what features
are implemented by each code file.)
3. May I develop new plug-ins/bundles/modules based on ChimeraX's VR mode
to implement one or more new features/functions? Could you please briefly
describe the feasibility of developing it?

Best regards,
Xiang Chen
