Hi Randy, Yep one more change to SurfaceModel -- methods m.set_bloop_bleep(value) became m.bloopBleep = value and m.bloop_bleep() to get a value became m.bloopBleep. These changes were to adhere to the conventions use in other types of Chimera models. We recently started a Chimera development wiki http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki and under Browse Source you can get to the SurfaceModel C++ header which defines all the methods here: http://socrates2.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/browser/trunk/contrib/_surface/su... You additionally need to know that our Python interface generator WrapPy changes method()/setMethod() pairs into object attributes (as shown above for bloopBleep). It is a pain to find the attributes of Chimera Python objects coded in C++ since they don't show up with dir(). We look at the C++ headers for that. We have not had the time to better document our programming interfaces. Tom Randy Heiland wrote:
And further... how do I then set: set_vertex_colors(colors) set_two_sided_lighting(False)
Better yet, how do I find out what the new methods are & how to use them? :)
I tried, for example, the following, in vain: twoSidedLighting(False)

Hi Randy,
Surface groups have been renamed as pieces and underscores have been removed. So you want
SurfaceModel.addPiece()
Sorry for the trouble caused by the renaming.

Hi gang,
In trying to finish up my plugin port to the daily/Aqua version of Chimera, I'm confused over the replacement method for what used to be:
_surface.Surface_Model.add_group
I see that dir(_surface) now has SurfaceModel (without the underscore), but what's the replacement for add_group?
dir(_surface.SurfaceModel) ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__destroyed__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'addAssociatedModel', 'addGeometryChangedCallback', 'addPiece', 'associatedModels', 'bbox', 'bsphere', 'callGeometryChangedCallbacks', 'clipPlane', 'clipThickness', 'computeBounds', 'count', 'destroy', 'display', 'frontPoint', 'id', 'intersects', 'material', 'name', 'newPiece', 'openState', 'oslChildren', 'oslIdent', 'oslLevel', 'oslParents', 'oslTestAbbr', 'piecesAreSelectable', 'removeAssociatedModel', 'removeGeometryChangedCallback', 'removePiece', 'selLevel', 'subid', 'surfacePieces', 'useClipPlane', 'useClipThickness']
