Re: [chimera-dev] Different models

Hi Marco, The Chimera volume path tracer tool has some similarity to your proposed Chimera tool. It allows you to place markers on volume data and connect them up. The markers could represent molecules, domains, ... and are implemented as a Chimera molecule, so all the coloring, selecting, hiding/displaying capabilities of molecules are available to the user. The volume path tool is implemented all in Python in directory chimera/share/VolumePath Look specifically at the markerset.py file which defines classes Marker_Set, Marker, and Link that are wrappers for Chimera Molecule, Atom and Bond.
