[chimerax-users] Viewing all frames of trajectory at once

[German Barcenas]

Hello,

I've made a trajectory of some similar frames that are stored as an .xtc
file. I can upload this with my defined topology file (.pdb) and see each
frame individually. Currently I can create a picture of each frame with the
frame centered on some residue (SQA) with:

perframe "save ~\snapshot_$1.png"  frames 10;coordset #1 holdSteady /A:SQA

This creates individual pictures for each frame which is nice. I was
wondering how one makes a picture with all 10 frames superimposed on each
other. I'd also like to change all but the 1st frame to be transparent. I'm
aware of the transparent command, which I presume I'd apply to all frames
except the 1st, but I'm not sure how to display all frames at once. I'm
also struggling on the 1st frame only condition. This is my current attempt:

perframe "transparency 0 ALL"  frames 1;perframe "transparency 25 ALL"
frames 9;coordset #1 holdSteady /A:SQA

Thanks,
