[chimera-dev] 1.2199 and BILD

[Charlie Moad]

   First of all, sorry for posting all those extension questions on
the user list.  I just discovered the dev list.

   Could I get the headers needed for 1.2199 for linux and possibly OS10.4?

   I am wanting to make use of the BILD format and I have a few
questions.  If I generate a lot of polygons how efficient will it be,
or is there some way to specify poly-strips/triangle-fans.
   Pertaining to PDB's as well, is there a way to open a file from a
stream/string?  I despise temp files.  It would be nice to use a
StringIO object to write my contents to, or do something like
"chimera.openModels.openBuffer(myBuffer, type='PDB')", where myBuffer
is anything with a read() method or maybe just a string.

Thanks,
- Charlie
