[chimera-dev] Code source for Multi-touch

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Gergely,

  I think you do not need the source code at all if your C++ touch 
library is wrapped for use from Python.  All of the Chimera Python code 
is included in every Chimera distribution (look in chimera/share).  The 
Python that handles the normal Chimera mouse modes (rotation, 
translation, zooming) is in chimera/share/chimera/tkgui.py.  Look for 
the _mouseFuncs table at about line 2300.  The mouse buttons can be 
reassigned to any function and this _mouseFuncs table gives functions 
that get invoked on mouse down, mouse drag and mouse up events.

  You can get the entire Chimera source code.  It is available on the 
Chimera web site:

    http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/sourcecode.html

I've added today's source code to the web page and it will appear 
tonight when our web pages are rebuilt.  Compiling it depends on getting 
about 35 third-party packages to compile, so you definitely do not want 
to try compiling it if that can be avoided.  We have compilation of all 
those libraries automated on specially setup machines (operating 
systems, cpu architectures, developer tools installed, ...) and it can 
be a lot of trouble to get it to work on a new system.
