Dear developers, I would like to launch Chimera from my Java program. I would like to send messages to Chimera to highlight in its own display selections I do in my Java program's display. I already did that with PyMOL using a pipe communication. So, several questions: - is it possible to start Chimera from a classical python distribution (not the embedded python of Chimera)? One of my ideas is to start Chimera from Jython, a Java implementation of Python - is it possible to communicate with Chimera using a pipe ? - and the most general question: is it possible to communicate with Chimera from the outside?
