Hi Boaz, That's a nice idea. I've put a script surfvalues.py on the Chimera Python scripts web page to do that. http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts If you color a surface with an electrostatic potential using the Surface Color dialog (e.g. an APBS potential) then as you move the mouse over the surface the potential values used in the coloring will be shown. By default the Surface Color dialog samples the potential 1.4 Angstroms from the surface so that is the value reported, not the value exactly at the surface point under the mouse. This would be a nice feature to include in Chimera. But I haven't worked out the details -- like how to turn this mouse mode off. Tom
Hi,
Is there a way to show the actual potential value of a point on the electrostatic surface, say by pointing at it with the cursor, in an analogous way to the atom names that show up that way?
Cheers,
Boaz
