Pretty much exactly what I would recommend too. The only thing I would add is don't hesitate to ask questions if you run into problems. You might want to direct the questions to the chimera-dev mailing list though, since that is developer oriented. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Jul 25, 2008, at 11:17 AM, David A.

I would start with the online documentation for programming and extensions w/ Chimera:

Then, the Chimera source itself is an excellent resource. Though documentation can be scant, you can often find tricks in existing extension code that may not have been obvious from the docs.
