[chimerax-users] tile and 2dlabels

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Krishnan,
The 2D labels are completely independent of the 3D models.  Just think of them as being pasted onto the rectangular graphics window, like you had already saved the image and were using some other program to put labels on top.  I would first tile the models or position/size them exactly as you want for the figure, and then as the last step, create the 2D labels and put them where you want them in teh window.  You can move them by click-drag with the "move labels" mouse mode.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
