[chimera-dev] Coloring chains from Python

[Jan Kosinski]

Hi,

In the “old” Chimera, is there an efficient way of coloring an entire chain with a single defined color from the Python interface without resorting to runCommand(‘color …') and atom_spec ? The runCommand(‘color …atom_spec ’) makes some issues when special characters are used as chain ids in the atom_spec. I guess I could loop through all atoms of chain but that might be slow for big structures.

Best,
Jan
