[Chimera-users] Worm representation / command line

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Xavier,
	No, there's no command line equivalent, nor is there any real plan to add one soon.  Therefore you would have to resort to using a Python script.  It would be a fairly simple script though.  For example, to make a smooth worm whose radius is equal to the residue's MAVconservation attribute + 0.25, it would be something like:

from chimera import openModels, Molecule, RibbonStyleWorm, Residue
for m in openModels.list(modelTypes=[Molecule]:
	for r in m.residues:
		conserve = getattr(r, "MAVconservation", None):
		if conserve is None:
			continue
		r.ribbonDrawMode = Residue.Ribbon_Round
		r.ribbonDisplay = True
		r.ribbonStyle = RibbonStyleWorm(conserve + 0.25)

You would put the above in a file ending in .py (e.g. "worm.py") and run it simply by opening it with the "open" command.
