[Chimera-users] Report coordinates in EM map

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Osama,

   I think Elaine's procedure for finding coordinates is the way to 
go.   But it is pretty tedious.  It would be nice if you could just show 
a plane of data and have it report the position on the plane as you move 
the mouse to any desired position.  Also would be nice if placing a 
marker in the way Elaine said would report the coordinates without 
having to use the separate getcrd command.  I'll submit feature requests 
for these improvements.
