Dear Chimera users and developers, recently I used the new morph map tool and it worked very nice in my case. I encountered a problem while exporting the animation in any movie-format within Morphmap, I just get empty or very small files, which cannot be displayed in any media-player. I decided then to use the chimera-movie recorder utility to record the morphing animation and this worked fine (I´ve tested this with mpeg-2 format). At the moment I´m using the chimera-version 1.2309 in a SUSE LINUX 9.2 environment. Is this a version problem or a bug? Furthermore, I´ve exported some scenes in the povray format and I´ve noticed that the final images are of lower quality in comparison with images made some months ago with older chimera versions. I haven´t changed the povray-version, the rendering settings and the settings for the visualisation of my data in chimera (brightness etc...). The colors are too pale, I could send you some example-images if needed. I´ve tried also the Fit Map in Map tool recently and it worked perfectly (you sent this tool to a group-colleague some months ago). I´m wondering why you didn´t put this tool on the experimental site yet....and one more last question...after using Fit Map in Map, is there any possibility to save the "fitted" map with it´s new orientation?
