[Chimera-users] Command line equivalence for Render by Attribute radii

[Elaine Meng]

Hello Jurgen,
Sorry, there is no command-line equivalent for the “Radii” section of Render by Attribute, nor is there one for “Worms” — there’s only one for coloring, the “rangecolor” command.

<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/render/render.html#render>

Surely it could be done with python scripting, but somebody else would have to advise on that.
Best,
Elaine
