[Chimera-users] Command line equivalence for Render by Attribute radii

[Eric Pettersen]

This is really simple to do in Python though.  The code is:

from chimera import openModels, Molecule
for m in openModels.list(modelTypes=[Molecule]):
	for a in m.atoms:
		a.radius = a.bfactor

If you put the above into a file with a “.py” suffix, you can execute it simply by opening it with the “open” command.  Keep in mind that indentation is relevant in Python, so preserve the indentation.
