    44== Possible 1.5 features ==
    55
    6  1) Mouse modes palette. TG
     6 1. Mouse modes palette. TG
     7 1. Implement mmcif template web service to update templates dynamically from chimera
     8 1. Allow sending template structure and template/target sequence alignment to comparative modeling program, either local or Web. ECM
     9  * This will require discussion/clarification between Andre and Tom to align the research goals of the two groups
     10 1. 64-bit Mac Aqua build for large volume data applications. TG
     11  * We had discussed having this happen when OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) comes out.  It's supposedly slated for Q1 2009. EFP
     12 1. Higher quality lighting and transparency using OpenGL shaders. TG
     13  * Maybe discussed in conjunction with a more complete discussion about improving scenegraphs
     14 1. Color tint/fade capability (modulate instead of replacing current colors). Further investigation suggests the desired effect might be attained by making it easier to adjust transparency without otherwise changing the current coloring scheme, as is already available for surfaces (but not ribbons, atoms, objects)... but probably transparency would itself need to be improved. ECM
     15 1. 2D Labels: individual label show/hide capability so that you don't have to make separate sessions for images that are just different views of the same thing.  ECM
     16 1. MD Movie: checkbox in Per-Frame panel and/or Record Movie panel to recompute secondary structure (make it more obvious that ribbon display may need to be updated). ECM
     17 1. Read PDBPQR format and load charge and radius values as the respective attributes. ECM
     18   * Perhaps write PDBPQR format.
     19   * Perhaps read PDBQT (Autodock format) and load charge, autodockType (or something like that).
     20 1. Make it easier to get phi,psi,omega,chi torsion values from proteins.  Maybe a button on Angles/Torsions to assign the values as residue attributes?
     21   * Longer term, interactive Ramachandran plot.  ECM
     22 1. Display preset wizard. EFP
     23 1. Python 2.6 GC
     24  * wrappy changes
     25  * allows for 64-bit Windows builds (needs Microsoft Visual Studio 2008)
     26 1. Improve VRML by making nodes into Python objects and selectable geometry GC
     27 1. Bring OSMesa version to production status GC
     28  * split test suite into gui and non-gui parts
     29  * add tutorial
     30 1. Benchmark graphics options (multisampling, bgopacity) GC
     31 1. Add more types of dashed lines in POV-Ray/Renderman GC
     32 1. N-level transparency without sorting using depth-peeling GC
     33 1. Web distribution of extensions CH
