yes, not too bad. Thanks a lot! Stefano On Sep 7, 2011, at 11:27 PM, Elaine Meng wrote:
So it's not too bad then, for example, commands:
colordef tblue 0 0 1 .2 colordef tcyan 0 1 1 .2 colordef tgreen 0 1 0 .2 colordef tyellow 1 1 0 .2 colordef tred 1 0 0 .2 rainbow residue tblue,tcyan,tgreen,tyellow,tred
However, Chimera transparency rendering has some problems. When I do this on a protein ribbon, in some places the stuff behind the ribbon shows through (as it should), but in some other places, it does not.
Also unlike surfaces, there is no single-layer transparency option that would avoid this problem.

One trick is that if you define colors with transparency in them (by using the colordef command) then you can use them in the rainbow command to get a rainbow with transparency.

Hi Stefano, Sorry, unlike surfaces, there is no option to keep the ribbon the same color(s) except make it transparent. There is only the capability of making specific transparent colors and then using them on the ribbon, and it sounds like you already know how to do that. Best, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hello, Reading the posts and the tutorials, I have understood how to make ribbons transparent, but with a single color. I would like to make a rainbow-colored ribbon look transparent. How do I do it? Thanks a lot Stefano
