[Chimera-users] To color atoms

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Atsutoshi,
If you want the "element" coloring (oxygen red, nitrogen blue, ... )  
one way is to use the menu item:

Actions... Color... by element

Actually there are many different ways to color atoms, ribbons,  
surfaces, and other things.  The many ways are listed in this manual  
page:

http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/1.2304/docs/UsersGuide/coloring.html

In Chimera, you can search for help using the menu item:

Help... Search Documentation

for example, if you search by  "coloring" the page I mentioned above  
is hit #2.  There are also tutorials for new users of Chimera  
(Help... Tutorials).
I hope this helps,
Elaine
