Needed Command Functionality

 * '''surface''' (see [https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera2/wiki/SurfaceCategories surface command and category thoughts]; should include calculation parameters, vertexDensity, visiblePatches)

 * '''volume''' (redundancy with show/hide/color etc. OK with me, but should review structure and keywords ''vs.'' the negotiable [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/chi2/command-structure.html command guidelines])
 * some way to adjust subdivision/smoothness; any global setting could be covered by '''set''' (see below) and any attribute by '''setattr''', but there could also be options in '''surface''', '''volume''', '''cartoon''' and/or a top-level '''quality''' command

 * '''scolor''' or equivalent for color-by-scalar (radial, volume value, ''etc.'') 
   - logical to merge '''rangecolor''' and '''scolor''', maybe also '''rainbow''', but what's a good name? stick with rangecolor, or something else like colorscale, colormap, colorvalue, rangecolor, valuecolor, ???
+  - color-by-scalar might only apply to surfaces and atoms
 * '''sop hideDust''' or equivalent
 * '''define''' geometric objects based on atomic coordinates: axes, planes, centroids, ellipsoids
