[chimerax-users] fine tuning depthcue

[vincent Chaptal]

Hi,

I've been playing around a lot with depthcue-ing but I can't get it to 
do quite what I would like.

I want to display a protein structure, with a focus on one zone and a 
"heavy" depthcue to have a strong "fog" hiding much of the background 
(without deleting the residues in the back).

my script includes:
lighting full  #(sometimes I use soft too)
lighting shadows true intensity 0.3
lighting qualityOfShadows finer
lighting depthcue true depthCueStart 0.1 depthCueEnd 1.0


First, I have selected one residue and setting the rotation around it by 
using "cofr sel"

My max depthcue is with "depthCueStart 0.1 depthCueEnd 1.0". I've tried 
to change these numbers in many different ways, including negative or 
very large numbers) but I can't get it to be thicker.

Could you help me please. I missed the meaning of these values, so I'm 
blind on their use.
Thank you
Vincent
