If you know enough of the basics of Python to write a loop, then as Elaine pointed out these color transitions become less onerous. Also, you don't need to know the Python equivalent of every Chimera command you need, since you can: from chimera import runCommand to make the runCommand function available and then thereafter use it to execute a string with the command you want, e.g.: runCommand("open 1gcn") to open 1gcn. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab pett@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
