[Chimera-users] Copy a pdb display configuration to another pdb model

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Xiangan,

  I've added a new Chimera command "mcopy" to copy colors, display 
styles, coordinates and other settings from one molecule to another.

    mcopy #0 #1

will copy the colors, display styles (ribbon, stick, sphere, ...), and 
visibility (which atoms/residues shown) from molecule #0 to molecule 
#1.   To copy other attributes such as atom coordinates, molecule 
placement (transform), or labels use the "settings" option:

    mcopy #0 #1 settings lxp

copies just atom/residue labels, atomic coordinates and placement.  The 
recognized settings are: c = color, s = style, v = visibilty, l = 
labels, x = coords, p = placement, a = all.  The default is "csv".

  This command will be in tonight's Chimera builds.
