[chimera-dev] camera dialog

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Matt,

  The ViewerDialog() call always constructs a new viewer.  So if you want to use this code to position your two viewer and only create the second one on the first time instead of

	d2 = viewing.ViewerDialog(viewer = viewer)

use code that checks if you already created the second viewer like this

if hasattr(chimera, 'viewer2'):
	d2 = chimera.viewer2
else:
	d2 = viewing.ViewerDialog(viewer = viewer)
	chimera.viewer2 = d2

  Tom

For some reason the second one does not have the Lighting tab.  There may be other problems.  It is unlikely the dialog positions and shown tabs would be saved in a session.
