Discussion

• Updates
  • Conrad
    • Fixed some ribbon bugs with backbone atom visibility
    • Fixed code signing
    • Requested SSL certificate for tool index web sites
  • Eric
    • Per-model colors
    • Base classes in Python
    • "Smart" initial display
    • Recover "lost" panels from menu
    • Enhance command line history searching
  • TomG
    • Removed auto thumbnails and added "log" command (subcommands "thumbnail", "show", "hide", "clear" and "save")
    • Bond and pseudobond picking. Selection currently only holds atoms rather than both atoms and bonds (like Chimera1). Should probably be changed.
    • Added optional "model" and "bond" keywords for "display" command.
    • Added depthcueing. "lighting" command is used to set parameters.
    • Really want "focus" command (set cofr in addition to "view"). (Eric)
    • Working on atom and bond level of detail.
    • Thinking about using billboarding or imposter technique for displaying spheres (and maybe even cylinders).
    • Working on orthographic and stereo camera modes.
  • Greg
    • Optional string arguments vs. abbreviated keywords. Add ability to register optional argument as "no keyword version".
    • Session stuff.
  • Elaine
    • Maniacally testing.
• "macro" vs "alias" command names
  • Alias is too pervasive to change. How about "namespec"? (Conrad)
• Session save and restore
  • Greg is writing the state protocol, save manager, restore manager (e.g., traversal of unprocessed objects)
  • Conrad is writing the STL inspector tool, adding session version numbers to tools, DAG analyzer
• Meeting adjourned
• help
