Hi, I just tried these commands from chimera import runCommand runCommand("open 2trx.pdb") runCommand("color red") runCommand("surf") png_name = "str.png" runCommand("copy file " + png_name) but getting error like "Need graphics to save images (or use headless Linux version)" Thank you On Fri, May 11, 2018 at 6:25 PM, NAGARAJAN <nagabioinfostar@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have previous experience in using Chimera GUI but not in nogui.
The main thing that I dont know is to use those commands in nogui mode.
For example: for saving image, I have used "runCommand("copy str.png") . but it is now working
Is there any link to get the informations to use commands in nogui mode
Thank you

Hi, I guess you will be using commands. Here are commands for your steps 1. open 2. surface 3. color 4, copy Of course, you will have to include more things in those commands, various options, residue numbers, filenames etc. that you should test in the GUI first to make sure they do what you want. See also the list of commands for anything else you might want to do like rotate (turn) translate (move) zoom (scale) … and click on the link to see each command’s help with information about the command syntax and possible options. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/framecommand.html>
