[chimera-dev] Generating images in chimera with the --nogui option

[Davide Baú]

Hi,

my name is Davide and I'm currently working on Marc Marti-Renom's group.

I'm trying to generate an image using chimera with the --nogui option:

chimera --nogui --nostatus --script cmd.py


The file cmd.py contains the following lines:

from chimera import runCommand
> runCommand('open input.cmm')
> runCommand('copy file image.png  png')


but I keep getting the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/src/chimera/share/__main__.py", line 65, in <module>
>     value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv)

cmd.py was generated from within chimera using the "record" command of
chimera's "command line".
If I delete the line "runCommand('copy file image.png  png')", the script
execute with no error.

Is it possible to generate images using the --nogui option?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards,
Davide
