[Chimera-users] Get map contour level with python script or command

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Kyle,
There isn’t a Chimera command, sorry; I’m sure it can be done in python, but somebody else would have to advise on that.  It may be a couple days, as our expert is away.

However, ChimeraX has a “volume settings #N” command that reports the levels of volume model #N (among many other things) to the Log.  Otherwise, it has essentially the same “volume” command options as in Chimera, including “sdLevel”.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
