Thank you! So I can't just open a new python script and import chimera without ./chimera I still don't know how to get the surface data(It's all triangles right?) say:
import chimera mlist = chimera.openModels.list() molecule = mlist[0] Then what should I do to get the surface calculated and get the data?
Forgot to mention the mscalc Python interface is the Python MolecularSurface module found in
chimera/share/MoleculeSurface
or on the Mac in
Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/MoleculeSurface
Look at the calcsurf.py code which runs the mscalc stand-alone program
(include in Chimera) and look at msurf.py if you are interested in the
Chimera SurfaceModel class which displays the surface in the graphics
window.

Hi chimera users, I'm wondering about several question: I installed chimera in my home dir, what's path to import in python? how can I access the data generated by mscalc in python?
