[Chimera-users] User defined h bonds

[Elaine Meng]

Dear S,
You can draw any atom-atom lines ("pseudobonds") you want, by creating a text file that lists the pairs of atoms and then reading that file in using PseudoBond Reader (under Tools... Depiction).  Colors and labels can also be given in the file.  PseudBond Reader and the file format are described here:

<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/pbreader/pbreader.html>

After you create the pseudobonds, you can change other things about their appearance (line width, line style, ... ) using "attributes" in PseudoBond Panel (under Tools... General Controls), or individually by selecting a pseudobond and then using the Selection Inspector, or with the command "setattr".

I hope this helps,
Elaine
