Hi Daniel, Take a look at the placem.py script which can place copies of maps or molecules at specified positions. http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts It specifies the rotation as a quaternion which is close to a rotation axis and angle description. I could show you how to adapt it to use Euler angles or a 3x3 rotation matrix if you like. Tom
Hi,
I'd like to use a Chimera marker file to place multiple copies of a density map in different spatial positions inside a tomogram. My input is thus a single map file a set of 3d locations, each attached to an euler triplet (or a rotation matrix)
With the documentation I could find
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/1.2065/docs/ContributedSoftware/volumepathtr...
it is explained how to place spheres without orientation in a volume, but I was not able to figure out how to place a density map at those locations, and also how to impart a different orientation to the density map located at each position.
My question is: where could I find a description of the marker file syntax that describes this functionality?
thanks, Daniel
