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, adding pseudobonds)
• color (suggest including pseudobonds, consolidating with rainbow, but leaving color-by-attr and color-by-field separate)
• display (suggest replacing with show/hide)
• ribbon (suggest replacing with cartoon and including options for spline and cylinders)
• volume (redundancy with show/hide/color etc. OK with me, but should review structure and keywords vs. the negotiable ​command guidelines.)
• 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)

Extremely useful catchalls, suggest retaining as permanent commands even though there will be some redundancy:

• set global settings:
• setattr (general set-attributes functionality)

GUI-only, or do we need commands?

• select (including up/down)
• save/restore session
• save image

December release
