[Chimera-users] transparency change for a whole model

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Neil,

  The "transition" command comes from a Chimera plug-in (not distributed 
by default).  The plug-in is on the "Experimental Features" web page and 
is called "Animation Commands".  Unfortunately we do not have any 
built-in capability to do color fades.
