[chimerax-users] Rotate image on screen by 6 degrees?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Bob!
Actually ChimeraX has cross-eye stereo now (in the current daily build, but not the 1.4 release) -- so if you get the daily build, you can use command:

camera crosseye

The "camera" command also has options for changing certain stereo parameters like field of view and convergence angle:

Or, if you want to stick with ChimeraX v1.4, you can do the rotation with:

turn y 6

(or -6 as you prefer).  The "turn" command also has a "center" option you could try if the default center is not what you want.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
