[chimera-dev] Get values from other chimera dialogs

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Pablo,
	I am not the expert on the volume viewer or volumes in general — our expert is on vacation until the end of next week — but here’s what I’ve got.  First, this will find the Volume Viewer dialog instance for you:

from chimera import dialogs
vdlg = dialogs.find(“volume viewer”)

Then, the following will return strings containing the voxel size and counter level respectively.  You would have to apply float() to them to turn them into numbers…

	voxel_size = vdlg.coordinates_panel.voxel_size.get()
	contour_level = vdlg.thresholds_panel.threshold.get()
