Hi Fernando,
I don't understand what you need vertex coordinates for. But you could put a print statement into the Chimera Python code that does surface coloring to output vertex coordinates and potential values. This would be in file
chimera/share/SurfaceColor/__init__.py
or on Mac in
Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/SurfaceColor/__init__.py
in the volume_values() routine change
def volume_values(self, surface_piece):
p = surface_piece
xf = p.model.openState.xform
v = p.geometry[0]
n = p.normals
return self.offset_values(v, n, xf)
to
def volume_values(self, surface_piece):
p = surface_piece
xf = p.model.openState.xform
v = p.geometry[0]
n = p.normals
values, outside = self.offset_values(v, n, xf)
print '\n'.join('%.5g %.5g %.5g %.5g' % (x, y, z, val) for (x,y,z), val in zip(v, values))
return values, outside
Use the Surface Color tool and the vertices and values will be printed to the reply log.
