[Chimera-users] HELP: I'm wondering about how to access the surface data

["郑捷凯"]

Thank you!
So I can't just open a new python script and import chimera without ./chimera

I still don't know how to get the surface data(It's all triangles right?)
say:
>>> import chimera
>>> mlist = chimera.openModels.list()
>>> molecule = mlist[0]
Then what should I do to get the surface calculated and get the data?
