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.

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
