[Chimera-users] about select and label a residul with another different from the color of the whole model

[张雷]

Hi Elaine,

Thank for your kindly help! I have tried the command "color red,lr #0:500", but this is a chimera error "color 'red,'is undefined". Therefore, I defined the red color by command "colordef red 1 0 0" and "colordef transparent_red 1 0 0". When I carried out the command "color red,lr#0:500", there was a chimera error "mangled atom specifier". The color of the label can not be changed. I didn't know why. However, the color dialog can work very well. Thanks a lot!


Sincerely,



Lei Zhang

You can also color ribbons, surfaces, etc. separately from the atoms.  This is explained in the “color” help page:
