Re: [chimera-dev] camera dialog
Hi Matt, The ViewerDialog() call always constructs a new viewer. So if you want to use this code to position your two viewer and only create the second one on the first time instead of d2 = viewing.ViewerDialog(viewer = viewer) use code that checks if you already created the second viewer like this if hasattr(chimera, 'viewer2'): d2 = chimera.viewer2 else: d2 = viewing.ViewerDialog(viewer = viewer) chimera.viewer2 = d2 Tom On Jul 10, 2013, at 12:52 AM, "Dougherty, Matthew T" wrote:

Hi Matt,
The following Python will bring up a second viewing dialog with the camera and side view tabs. They both work in some simple tests with the current daily build. For some reason the second one does not have the Lighting tab. There may be other problems. It is unlikely the dialog positions and shown tabs would be saved in a session.
from chimera import viewing, viewer d = viewing.ViewerDialog(viewer = viewer)

thx Tom, tried it, could not make it work. viewer2 never was recognized. This and because of the lighting problem, I decided to cut bait. Instead I created a hot key to toggle pCamera and pSideView. another USBHID hotkey will be setup to get me into lighting/shininess. How can I bring up shininess dialog? after that I want to connect up the light xy positions to a joystick; intensity and color to some knobs and sliders. I am thinking the shininess values will need special attention. the slider gets me increments of 0.1; but depending on sharpness I need to casually adjust at 0.01 So at this point my focus for the next few days is going deep into lighting.

Hi Matt, There is a Chimera menu entry Tools / Viewing Control / Shininess that shows the Shininess pane of the Lighting panel. Searching high and low in chimera/share (I use grep on all Python files) I found the code for this menu entry in share/Shiny So do import Shiny Shiny.display() to show the shininess panel. Here's the display code (from Shiny/__init__.py) def display(): import Lighting controller = Lighting.get() from chimera.extension.StdTools import raiseViewingTab raiseViewingTab(controller.Name) controller.showInterface(controller.Interface_Shininess) To control shininess and light directions I suggest using the "lighting" command. Then you will not be limited to slider step sizes. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/lighting.html Tom On Jul 10, 2013, at 6:14 PM, "Dougherty, Matthew T" wrote:

Thx Yes I was planning to use those commands. But I will need python commands to get their values. The USB device will provide an increment value. Need to get the values to add the increments to. 1-2 examples and the python file location should be enuf.
