Needed Command Functionality

Chimera2 command functionality needed for early release(s) based on EarlyReleaseRequirements.

This is somewhat high-level; more detailed guidelines and examples are in Chimera2 Command-Structure Thoughts.

Late summer release

  • open (suggest same general syntax as Chimera1, possibly adjusting prefixes)
  • repr, ribrepr, surfrepr (suggest consolidating into a new style command)
  • color (suggest consolidating with rainbow)
  • display (suggest replacing with show/hide and eliminating current show command)
  • volume (redundancy with show/hide/color etc. OK with me)
  • set global settings: silhouettes, background color, shadows, lighting (if many sub-options, e.g. lighting, judiciously consider making a separate top-level command; also keeping a redundant but longer set command is OK with me)
  • setattr (general set-attributes functionality; extremely useful as permanent command even though parts will become redundant)

December release
