Well, it's not a public API, but you seem like a brave sort. ;-) chimera.tkgui._createMenus(parent) will create a Tk.Menu (with parent as its parent widget), fill it in with the same contents as Chimera's main set of menus, and return that Menu instance. Should work. :-) --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Apr 10, 2015, at 7:32 PM, "Dougherty, Matthew T" <matthewd@bcm.edu> wrote:

When I am using chimera I am frequently using it with two monitors. One monitor has the 3D graphics maximized. The other monitor has the dialog boxes and various control GUI.

Thing get messy when I use the graphics in stereo3D, particularly DTI SBS-half; such as save session. The cursor does not track easily to the pull down menus of the 3D graphics window.

I would like to copy all the pulldowns (not changing the originals) onto some gui on my other monitor.

Is there an easy way I replicate these pulldowns using an python extension I would write? Is there one place in the chimera code that sets up the pulldowns?
