Hi, my name is Davide and I'm currently working on Marc Marti-Renom's group. I'm trying to generate an image using chimera with the --nogui option: chimera --nogui --nostatus --script cmd.py The file cmd.py contains the following lines: from chimera import runCommand
runCommand('open input.cmm') runCommand('copy file image.png png')
but I keep getting the following error message: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/src/chimera/share/__main__.py", line 65, in <module> value = chimeraInit.init(sys.argv) File "CHIMERA/share/chimeraInit.py", line 384, in init chimera.openModels.open(a, prefixableType=1) File "CHIMERA/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 1344, in open File "CHIMERA/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 787, in _openPython File "cmd.py", line 3, in <module> runCommand('copy file image.png png') File "CHIMERA/share/chimera/__init__.py", line 2025, in runCommand File "CHIMERA/share/Midas/midas_text.py", line 62, in makeCommand File "CHIMERA/share/Midas/midas_text.py", line 563, in doCopy File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "CHIMERA/share/Midas/__init__.py", line 908, in copy File "CHIMERA/share/chimera/printer.py", line 1182, in saveImage AttributeError: '_chimera.NoGuiViewer' object has no attribute 'pilImages' Error while processing cmd.py: AttributeError: '_chimera.NoGuiViewer' object has no attribute 'pilImages'
(see reply log for Python traceback info)
cmd.py was generated from within chimera using the "record" command of chimera's "command line". If I delete the line "runCommand('copy file image.png png')", the script execute with no error. Is it possible to generate images using the --nogui option? Thanks a lot for your help!
