[Chimera-users] morph map and molecule together

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Moumita,

   You can morph both maps and molecules at the same time.  You use 
commands instead of the morphing dialogs in order to get them to play 
with perfect synchronization.  The basic plan is to create the molecule 
morph and the map morph using the dialogs as usual. Then load a simple 
command script that starts both playing at the same time and records the 
movie. I'm sure this works in Chimera 1.7, probably in 1.6, and maybe in 
1.5.  Here is an example command script morphing a filament map and fit 
molecule

and here's the resulting movie

and here is the web page where I explain how this was done

This was a demonstration I gave at the Bay Area Cryo EM meeting in Santa 
Cruz last summer.
