[chimerax-users] Electrostatic color key problem

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Luca,
After changing values, you need to click "Color" again.  You can see the command appear in the Log each time that you click Color, containing the current values.

<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/surfacecolor.html>

If you mean you already did that but the coloring looks the same, it may be that most of your values are smaller magnitude than the values and it's just hard to see a difference.  If you make the values much smaller (exactly to what depends on the data), the change may be more evident. 

I tested it just now to make sure, and the coloring is changing in my tests.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
