Hello Elaine, thank you very much for the update! Serge On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
Hi Serge, Dave, Jim, et al.,
In recent daily builds of Chimera, you can now define planes and measure distances and angles to these objects. The planes are shown as disks, and you can perform plane-plane, axis-plane, and atom-plane measurements, in addition to the axis-axis and atom-axis measurements we had earlier.
The tool formerly known as Axes is now "Axes/Planes," and we anticipate it will eventually include centroids. The updated documentation isn't there today but should show up tomorrow at <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/structuremeas/struc...> and the interface is mostly self-explanatory anyway.
Each of you had asked about planes at some point (possibly a while ago), in case you are wondering why I addressed this message to you. 8-) Enjoy! Elaine ----- Elaine C.
