Yes.  In fact all that is done with the new_region() routine.  (set step with the ijk_step argument, eg. ijk_step = (2,2,2).  Set plane number by setting ijk_min, ijk_max to show one plane).

thx

is volume.py where I would find how to change step size, plane number & depth?

To change the region bounds of a volume v in Python:

v.new_region((0,0,0), (50,60,70))

Here’s the Python declaration in chimera/share/VolumeViewer/volume.py where the Volume class is defined.

  def new_region(self, ijk_min = None, ijk_max = None, ijk_step = None,
                 show = True, adjust_step = True, save_in_region_queue = True):

I am trying to modify the region bounds of the volume viewer using python.
What module should I be looking at to determine the api calls?
