I have two questions:
1) Is there a way for chimera to display the x-y-z axes? For example,
for a pdb file, all the x/y/z coordinates are referenced to the
molecular coordinate system. In the chimera screen, we can rotate the
molecules. I want to know the orientation of the molecular coordinate
system in the laboratory/chimera coordinate system, but cannot find a
way for the x/y/z to show up on the screen. Many other protein
visualization software (VMD, Molw, etc) have this feature.
2) by default, the z coordinate point out from the screen. often i
would like to see the protein with its z direction in the plane of the
screen and pointing up. tools-viewing controls-side view allow me to
get what i want, but the image is only the protein projected onto the
y-z plane. but it would be nice if there are two side view panels, one
with an image in the y-z plane, one with an image in the x-z plane.
Thank you!
