Hi Martin,

I am not aware that there is a python library reference. If there is, I would appreciate a pointer to it as well. Here are a few links I have found helpful when writing python code for Chimera:

This shows how to execute command line commands, it may be what you want:

This goes through how to make plugins and such, but is helpful since the examples show more of the API:

Hi,

I am trying to write a simple python script that will iterate over opened volumes and adjust the contour level to a certain mass. This shouldn't be more than ~10 lines. However, I can't find chimera's python library reference to look up the class structure and operator names.

Does someone know how, for example, set volume level to 0.01 would look like in python?
in the command line it would be for all models: volume #0-99 level 0.01

for models I've found chimera.openModels and then you can list over them, but that's about it.

Thanks,
Martin Turk
