hi. i'm using chimera-1.2470-linux_x86_64.exe on suse 10.3. in addition to this my graphic card is nvidia geforce 8600m gt 512 mb and also i have installed mesa and xorg softwares. and here is problem: using 1EP4.pdb from rcsb.org causes problem.whenever i select structure-->main, then action-->surface-->show it crashes. and it gives the report shown below.

Eliminate density with small volume
by Bui Khanh Huy 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi all, I have an EM density map. Because it's quite noisy, when displayed as a surface rendering in Chimera, there are a lot of blobs surrounding my interested surface (not touching). Is there anyway that I can get rid of those blobs by allowing to display only the blobs with volume bigger than a certain threshold? Thanks, Huy

Currently, the geometry generation code of Chimera is intimately tied up with the OpenGL code, so Chimera still needs an OpenGL context even in nogui mode in order to generate the geometry to send to POVray. Rather than engage in an extensive rewrite of the Chimera internals, what we are doing for now is making builds that include the OS (off screen) Mesa libraries. We are making such builds for 32 and 64 bit Linux platforms, but only the 64- bit version is building right now. We expect to get the 32-bit version working as time allows in the next few weeks. You can get the 64-bit version by following the "Daily Builds" link off the Chimera home page. We aren't planning to make OS Mesa builds for the other platforms, but if there were enough demand we could change our minds. I've attached an image generated by the following set of commands: windowsize 640 480 open 3fx2 preset apply int 3 turn y 180 focus ligand copy file 3fx2 png raytrace

list of atoms attributes
by Jean-Didier Maréchal 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi again, When using the python shell, I am often struggling to find the attribute for the atoms I work on. for at my list with the selected atoms, I caught that at[i].name gives the atom name of the entry at[i], at[i].residue provides with the name residue.chain, etc. Where can I find in the programmer's guide the full list of available attributes? What would be the way to ask for the serialNumber from the IDLE?

vdw define
by Marta Rossini 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Hi all, I know in Chimera the existence of the command vdwdefine to set your desider vdw radius for a selection. My question is: it is possible to save this changes in a file (i.e. obtain a new file in any format convertible to pdb with the modified values)? or it's only a matter of visualization? thanks _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.

Criteras about hydrogen bonds in chimera
by zhaojunwei 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, all I have a question about the hbond. What is the definition about hydrogen bond in chimera? As we know, there're different criterias among softwares, I'm wondering the distence between donor atom and acceptor atom, and the angle of donor-hydrogen-acceptor in chimera. Any reply will be deeply appreciated! It'll be kind if you can send the reply to my address, cause I'm not in the mailing list. Junwei Zhao

Re: [Chimera-users] [chimera-dev] Wrapping Chimera in a Java program
by Tom Goddard 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi Fabrice, I do not think Chimera could run using Jython because Chimera uses dozens of compiled C/Python modules. You can communicate with Chimera via a pipe. One approach is to start Chimera with a popen() system call and send commands to Chimera's stdin using the ReadStdin capability: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/readstdin/readstdi… It is also possible to talk to an already running instance of Chimera using the "chimera --send <file>" shell command. This is used to have a web browser helper application directly send files to Chimera. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/options.html http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/webdata/webdata.ht… The implementation uses a socket that Chimera is listening on but it is somewhat tricky to find the right port number. It is saved on the local machine in a file as a security measure to prevent network connections. The details of that implementation are in your Chimera distribution chimera/share/send_to_chimera.py Scooter Morris in our lab has written code to communicate with Chimera from a Java application called Cytoscape. He might be able to provide more advice. Tom Fabrice Jossinet wrote: > Dear developers, > > I would like to launch Chimera from my Java program.
