You add an item to the menu with:</div><div><br></div><div>menu.add_command(label="menu item name", command=myFunc)</div><div><br></div><div>which will cause myFunc to get called (with no arguments) when that menu item is selected. There's a lot of documentation available for the Tkinter.Menu class, just Google "Tkinter menu".

As you know, to put any option in the menu 'Tools' we "only" have to copy the new folder in chimera/share/ . I'm trying to do the same with my new item but the only way that I found to do so is modifying the ChimeraExtension.py file of VolumeMenu. Exists any other possibility much easier than that?</div></div></blockquote></div></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span> </div><br></body></html>
