[Chimera-users] Cross eyed stereo pair generated by default

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Oliver,
While there is not a "stereo pair: walleye” option in the Image Save dialog currently, you can set the camera mode to “wall-eye stereo”  (in Camera tool or with command “stereo wall”) and then use “same as screen” in the Image Save dialog.

<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/print.html#imagemode>

The distinction is that the Image Save “stereo pair” is assembled separately from what is shown in the graphics window.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
