[Chimera-users] Measure contact between copies of the same map

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Giovanni,

   This is a bug in the "measure contactArea" command.  It should 
account for the relative displacement between the maps but I see in the 
code it is ignoring that.  I'll fix it today and it will work in 
tonight's Chimera daily build (compiled around 2 AM).  Thanks for 
pointing out the problem.  I guess I always used it on maps that had not 
been moved relative to one another.

     Tom
