[chimerax-users] Use different distances for several marker sets

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Shiqing,
Although you can use "color zone"  with more than one marker set at a time, you cannot use different distances. It will always use the same zone distance for all of the specified atoms/markers.

<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/colorzone.html>
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#zone>

I tried opening the same map twice and coloring one copy by zone from one set of atoms/markers, and coloring the other copy by zone from the other set of atoms/markers with a different distance, and then making one of the map surfaces partly transparent.  It did show both colorings somewhat, but not very well, as you can see in the attached image.
Best,
Elaine
