<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi EJ,<DIV><SPAN class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </SPAN>We put out 2D Labels as a usable but unfinished tool. Anticipated improvements include: changing fonts; bold/italics; Greek characters; angstrom/degree symbols; arrows; imported images; and justification control for multi-line labels (roughly in priority order). Unfortunately each Chimera developer has about a dozen balls in the air and another half-dozen dropped balls bouncing on the ground. Finishing 2D Labels is one of the "dropped balls" for me currently. I will try to up the priority of getting these improvements included, but even then it will be behind several other projects for now.</DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </SPAN>If you are willing to edit Python code (which is plain text), you can make _all_ 2D Labels be bold by changing line 69 of <your chimera installation>/share/Ilabel/Label.py so that this part: "style=chimera.OGLFont.normal" is instead: "style=chimera.OGLFont.bold". If you are on a Mac, you will have to right-click on Chimera.app in the Finder and choose "Show Package Contents" to get to the file, and it's location will be Contents/Resources/share/Ilabel/Label.py.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>--Eric</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Eric Pettersen</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>UCSF Computer Graphics Lab</FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN><A href="mailto:pett@cgl.ucsf.edu">pett@cgl.ucsf.edu</A></FONT></P> <P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT face="Helvetica" size="5" style="font: 16.0px Helvetica"><SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN><A href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu">http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu</A></FONT></P> <BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Mar 26, 2007, at 10:45 PM, EJ Pone wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Hi,</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I was wondering if there's a way to make the font of 2D labels bold.
