[Chimera-users] measurements to planes

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Serge, Dave, Jim, et al.,

In recent daily builds of Chimera, you can now define planes and  
measure distances and angles to these objects.  The planes are shown  
as disks, and you can perform plane-plane, axis-plane, and atom-plane  
measurements, in addition to the axis-axis and atom-axis measurements  
we had earlier.

The tool formerly known as Axes is now "Axes/Planes," and we  
anticipate it will eventually include centroids.  The updated  
documentation isn't there today but should show up tomorrow at
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/structuremeas/structuremeas.html#axes 
 >
and the interface is mostly self-explanatory anyway.

Each of you had asked about planes at some point (possibly a while  
ago), in case you are wondering why I addressed this message to you. 8-)
Enjoy!
Elaine
