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)
  • display (maybe replace with show/hide and eliminating our current show)
  • color (suggest including pseudobonds, consolidating with rainbow, but leaving color-by-attr and color-by-field separate)
  • ribbon (suggest replacing with cartoon and including spline and any other whole-chain parameters)
  • repr, ribrepr,ribscale, surfrepr (suggest consolidating into a new style command, adding cartoon cylinder parameters, and including pseudobonds)
  • volume (redundancy with show/hide/color etc. OK with me, but should review structure and keywords vs. the negotiable ​command guidelines.)

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

  • 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)

GUI-only, or do we need commands?

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

December release
