[Chimera-users] obtaining rotation angles

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Jaap,
Maybe the "matrixget" command would meet your needs; it writes out a  
transformation matrix, 3x3 rotation matrix + translation vector, for  
each model:
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html>

You can write it to a file or just to the Reply Log.  If to a file,  
you can later apply the transformation(s) by reading the file with the  
"matrixset" command (same man page as above).

Best,
Elaine
