[chimerax-users] Find Residues From Specified Residue Numbers Help

Hi Jonathan,

  I added some Python code to that example

	https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/residues/residues.html <https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/residues/residues.html>

to get the currently open atomic structures

	from chimerax.atomic import all_structures
	structures = all_structures(session)

Another way to get the structures is

	from chimerax.atomic import Structure
	structures = session.models.list(type = Structure)

More info about the Python functions in ChimeraX is in the programmer's manual

	https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/index.html <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/index.html>

for instance the all_structures() function is under the atomic module.  But that has hundreds of functions so it can certainly be hard to find
