Chimera is a completely different program than Midas but has retained some of the command language from Midas. The "delegate" command was not implemented because Chimera's Python interface provides a much richer environment for writing extensions. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/index.html provides some examples on extending Chimera using Python. (There is a ReadStdin tool, http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/readstdin/readstdin..., which enables a single process to control Chimera via Midas commands, but it is intended for use by programs that start Chimera themselves.) Can you give a little more detail about what you'd like to do with Chimera? Thanks. Conrad On 10/24/11 8:16 AM, Zoe Cournia wrote:
Hello,
I am trying to use the "delegate" command from the Midas program in Chimera, but the error message I get is that "delegate is not yet implemented".
Is there an available "Extension Mechanism" in chimera?
If not, is it possible to get the source code for Midas in order to compile it and use it with delegate?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Best Zoe
