[chimera-dev] S3D extension

19 Mar 2014

      Now that I am working on a similar problem it may have a similar solution to the previous email.

Specifically I am trying to add an extension to control eye seperation in animations.

using the icosahedron extension as a reference, I figure I need to make a similar gui call in def set_s3d(es), and change the gui to the camera tab.

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
def change_s3d(start, last, step):
    range = (start, last, step)
    import Transition
    Transition.show_transition(set_s3d, range)

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
def set_s3d(es):
    import Transition
    Transition.show_label('eye separation', 'r = %.0f' % es)
    import Icosahedron.gui
    d = Icosahedron.gui.icosahedron_dialog()
    if d:
        d.radius.set_value(es)

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
import Transition
arg_specs = (('es1', float),
                    ('es2', float),
                    ('frames', int))

add_transition_command('s3d',
                                     change_s3d, 
                                     arg_specs,
                                     None, None)
