[Chimera-users] Help in writing python code

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ankit,
You would just use the “close” Chimera command to close the new axes model each time, e.g. “close #2” if the axes model is #2.  You can see which one it is in the Model Panel (under Favorites in the menu).  I would expect it to be the next unused number. 

Before actually running a script for a whole trajectory you should generally work out the necessary commands “by hand” (interactively) for one or two frames first.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

But problem is that when I run the python code it starts making all the three axes for each frames that becomes messy. So I want a little change in my code so that during trajectory analysis it should create axes but should delete or hide the previous axes also. So during run I will see only the axes which are related to that frame.
