[Chimera-users] Save marker sets from command line or python

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Kyle,
Sorry, there is no Chimera command to save marker sets in the cmm format.  (As far as I know, the manual page you were looking at is up to date.)

I’m sure it can be done in Python but somebody else would have to shed light on that.
Best,
Elaine
