[Chimera-users] Color subunits for map density

[Yangqi Gu]

Hi Elaine,
I tried what you suggested and using the command scolor #0 zone: *.c, now
my c chain density becomes gradient color. Is there anyway showing a single
color, let's say I want it red without gradient. Also, how do I change
multiple chains color at the same time?
Best,
Yangqi
