[Chimera-users] Clustering docking results using "headless" Chimera

Yes, a script is still probably the easiest way to do what you want. 
However, there is a call in the old script that no longer exists in the 
new one.  I'm attaching a new script that will do a couple things 
differently than before:

- Instead of opening files in the script, it will now use models that 
have already been opened.
- It will call matchmaker to align all models to the model with the 
lowest model/submodel number (usually the first model opened).

To run it, save the script as "cluster.py" and run the command:

	chimera --nogui --silent your_model_files cluster.py

where cluster.py is the name of the script.  The first model opened will 
be the reference structure to which everything else is aligned.

In the script, Matchmaker is invoked by the line:

	chimera.runCommand("mm %s %s" % (ref.oslIdent(), m.oslIdent()))

If you want to use more options (see 
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/mmaker.html for 
details), just add it after the second "%s" on the line.

Please let me if this does what you need, or if you'd like it to do more 
stuff.

Conrad
