[chimerax-users] [Chimera-users] Jagged edges in chimera X

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Prathvi,
For ChimeraX questions, you may want to use the other mailing list, chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu CC'd here.

As per this recent post, ChimeraX does not have multisampling, but if you are saving an image you can use supersampling:

ChimeraX also has a "graphics quality" command to increase the number of facets used to draw atoms, bonds, and cartoons (ribbons), although I don't know if that is going to help your issue very much:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
