[Chimera-users] Display Molecule Name

[christopher lau]

Sorry to bother everyone again,
But I was using

~modeldisp #0.1-1000 #hides all molecules
modeldisp #0.1           #shows first molecule
labelopt info molecule
la @/serialNumber=1   #labels molecule as "#0.1"


and I wanted to change the label size to larger than the default font size
of 24.  From the documentation on changing 2dlabels I used the command


2dlabels change size <label-name> 40


I wasn't sure what i should use as "label-name".  In the ucsf documentation
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/2dlabels.html> it
says "*label-name* is a label identifier, not its text."  I tried using
various label names, but was not successful.  What is the correct label-name
to use to change the font size?


Thanks,


Chris
