[chimera-dev] Get values from other chimera dialogs

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Pablo,

  Do you really want the volume dialog settings, or do you just want the settings of a specific Python volume object?  I’m guessing the latter.  If v is the volume, the voxel size is

	v.data.step

and the surface contour levels are

	v.surface_levels

which is a list (since a volume can show surfaces at multiple levels).  The Chimera Python scripts page gives an example

	http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/attachment/wiki/Scripts/readvol.py <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/attachment/wiki/Scripts/readvol.py>

and the Volume class and Grid_Data class (v.data) are defined in Python code
