Hi Matt, from chimera import tkgui tkgui.setScreenMMWidth(w) w = tkgui.getScreenMMWidth() Here MM stands for millimeters. In general you don't want your Python code to find graphical user interface controls (entry fields, sliders, …) and modify their values. Instead you modify the parameter values and the graphical user interface should detect the change and update themselves. The case of the Icosahedron tool is just a hack where only the graphical user has access to the radius parameter. Tom On Mar 19, 2014, at 11:13 PM, "Dougherty, Matthew T" wrote:
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.

I would like to set and get the parameter screen width. can you advise on the proper way?
thx
