<br>
Those little ellipses scattered all over are the end-caps of the
ribbon helices being drawn in the wrong place. That is a bug.
You should use Help / Report a Bug to send us a report that will
include your graphics driver version and operating system. I
could imagine this bug happening in Chimera daily builds because I
have changed the ribbon drawing code. But it is surprising to see
it in the Chimera 1.6 production release. If it is in a daily
build try the latest daily build. If it is in Chimera 1.6 it is
most likely a graphics driver bug. You can try to update your
graphics driver or use a different computer to make this image.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Tom,
you're right. Sorry I haven't thought of that myself.
Here's an image.

Zadeva: Re: [Chimera-users] a problem with silhouettes
Sending an example image might help debug this.

<pre wrap="">Dear Chimera users,
I am trying to create an image for a publication using Chimera 1.6.1.
Whenever I turn on "silhouette" dark spots appear on the screen and on the saved image. They seem totally random but they move along with the structure when rotated. When I zoom on them they look like small "umbrella-shaped" discs. The "show shadows" option is turned off.
Does anybody know what are those spots and how to get rid of them?
Thank you very much for any help.
Regards,
Alja Oblak
