Thanks a lot Elaine. The command line seems to work, but the gui does have nice features! This part is rather confusing
" If the number of frames and step increment are more than needed to reach the playRange bounds (default is the entire range: 0.0,1.0), the morph display will “bounce” back and forth."
So I wonder how to play the morph back and forth similar to the gui, and actually, how to only play the morph in a single direction, but from the gui. I also wonder if there's a quick record option similar to the gui, or do I have to use movie encode? It would also help if I can find the log of how all these gui commands are passed to chimera so I can customize it and use it for the command line interface.
Cheers.
Hi Ahmad,
To morph between multiple maps (more than two) you have to use the command "vop morph" instead of the Morph Map tool. For example,
vop morph #1,2,5
... but there are a lot of additional command-line options that you may want to use, see:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
