[Chimera-users] Using Chimera from non-chimera python scripts

Hello, I would like to use Chimera python classes from a python script running outside Chimera (part of a larger python project). I saw another post that explained that this could be done but I was unclear which of the Chimera functionality can be used in this case. In case I want to create an image (e.g. load pdb files, do some editing and then create an image to a file) - can I use the "chimera" class or do I need to use something else? (I saw a reference to "midas" classes) Is there an example for doing that? Processing a file and creating an image in a non-GUI scenario running outside chimera? Thank you, Dany
