[chimerax-users] using variables in command files

[Pranav Shah]

Hi Team,
Is it possible for one to declare a variable in a command file that
can then be passed to via the chimeraX command line interface. A
minimal example of something I would like to do is -
command.cxc
open $file
color radial palette rainbow
save $outfile.png height 512 width 512 transparentBackground True

In the chimeraX command line window I would then like to run
open command.cxc infile.mrc outfile.png
Best,
Pranav
