[chimerax-users] exporting crosslinks histogram

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Pim,
Those are good suggestions, but currently not available, sorry: there are no options for exporting the histogram or controlling its drawing parameters.

For saving an image of the plot, the best one can do currently is to size and adjust the aspect ratio of the plot window as desired, and then take a screenshot of it.
Best,
Elaine
