[Chimera-users] adding measurement to Angles/Torsions via command line

[Eric Pettersen]

After some reflection, we do see some value to the table in that it’s nicer looking, easier to read, and doesn’t scroll away from what you’re interested in.  However, there is no Chimera command for adding an entry to that table.  The Python for doing so isn’t too complicated though.  I’ve attached a Python file that adds two torsion measurements for any single-chain structure (e.g. 1gcn).  I think it’s pretty obvious where the atom specs are and how you add additional measurements.  You run it simply by opening it with File→Open or the “open” command.
