[Chimera-users] Divided the Volume Data into two parts

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Huiya,
Our volume programming expert is away right now, so I can only suggest looking at the files and links Conrad and I sent in the replies to your earlier message.

I am pretty sure that there is nothing in the Chimera code to save a picture of its histograms.  Instead you would probably need to use some screenshot feature of your computer.

For future reference:  it would probably be better if you send python programming questions to the chimera-dev at cgl.ucsf.edu mailing list instead of this chimera-users address.

Best,
Elaine

I want to get one part which covers the region from (i,j,k) to (x,y,z), e.g. from (0,0,0) to (100,100,100). The rest is the other part. The transparency for the first part is 0 and for the second part is 0.5. And I still want to get the histogram of the first part.
