[Chimera-users] show middle slice of vol by using command line

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Dieter,
There are two required arguments for the planes option: axis,start
... where start is the index of the desired plane along that axis

Documentation:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#planes>

So, for example:

volume #0 style solid planes x,15

I hope this helps,
Elaine

But when I try ""vol #0 style solid planes x" I get "volume: invalid planes argument 'x'. So what?
