[Chimera-users] Batch mode for Chimera

Fri Sep 1 01:23:08 PDT 2017

now the errors of the execution of the script using headless chimera:

Opening rmsf_visu_AT1_dry_apo.2rep.step7_1.pdb...
The following problems occurred while reading PDB file for

chimera_batch $pdb "${temp}"/script_${name}.cmd

the same with a pow-ray render

here is my script:

preset apply publication 2
rangecolor bfactor 2 blue 30 red 50 yellow
copy file /home/gleb/Desktop/Scripts/MegaAnalysis/output/plots/rmsf/AT1_wat_apo.3rep.png
png width 800 height 600

I have made the same images in chimera GUI and it worked very well.

Is it possible to run same script using in chimera-gui but from batch mode?
