[Chimera-users] clipping/slicing commands for movies

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Alain,
There are a few different related commands, but it depends on exactly which type of slicing you mean, whether only front/back, or at different angles, or whether you want to see only one plane of the volume data at a time.  However, there are examples for each of these possibilities here:

Scroll down the to bottom section, click the images to play the short movies, and then click the links below them to see the corresponding commands and other details. 

The Chimera Animation Gallery has several longer movies and the command scripts for many of those, but they may not show the same things you are trying to do:

 I hope this helps,
Elaine
