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.
