<br>
I am trying to write a simple python script that will iterate over opened volumes and adjust the contour level to a certain mass. This shouldn't be more than ~10 lines. However, I can't find chimera's python library reference to look up the class structure and operator names.<br>
<br>
Does someone know how, for example, set volume level to 0.01 would look like in python?<br>
in the command line it would be for all models: volume #0-99 level 0.01<br>
<br>
for models I've found chimera.openModels and then you can list over them, but that's about it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Martin Turk<br>
