How would I get get a handle on a running instance of an extension? Specifically, I want to be able to associate my own structures to sequences in the MultAlignViewer.
Hi Charlie, If I understand you correctly, this is something you can do this in the user interface (without dealing with code). Your structures should automatically associate with the sequences when opened in Chimera, if the structure's sequence and the sequence in the alignment match well enough. Even if they don't, you can "force" the structure to associate using Multalign Viewer's menu option Structure... Associations This option brings up a dialog in which you can specify which of the structures open in Chimera should be associated with a sequence in the alignment. I hope this helps, Elaine --- Elaine C.
