[Chimera-users] orthogonal views

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Thomas,

  A cumbersome way to do this is to open 3 copies of your molecule, move 
them so they don't overlap.  Rotate one copy 90 degrees about the x axis 
and another 90 degrees about the y axis and turn on independent center 
of rotation.  This is too tedious to be useful unless the purpose is for 
making a movie.

  Chimera does not support multiple graphics windows.
