Suppress tethers

[Roden Deng Luo]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Linux-5.15.0-138-generic-x86_64-with-glibc2.35
ChimeraX Version: 1.9 (2024-12-11 19:11:19 UTC)
Description
Minor rendering artifact with suppressBackboneDisplay 

Open a structure and show cartoon representation 
show #1/A:35 atoms
cartoon #1/A:35 suppressBackboneDisplay false
Closely check the last/first atom (see the attached)

My use case is that I need to show pbonds. Without suppressBackboneDisplay as fasle, sometimes, the interacting atoms are not shown.

Hi Roden,

That is a "tether", showing that the CA is connected to / part of the ribbon despite the fact that the atom depiction does not lie on the ribbon. You can suppress the drawing of tethers with the command "cartoon tether opacity 0".

Oh, I see! Many thanks!
