Hi Matt, There is a Python script camerapositons.py on the Chimera scripts web page that does this. http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts It only reports name, camera position, and field of view. If you want other parameters you could modify that Python script. The camera parameters are defined in the following C++ header. http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/browser/trunk/libs/_chimera/Camera.h For instance, you'll see the method "fieldOfView()" there and that is used in the Python script as cam.fieldOfView. The workings of the Chimera camera are pretty arcane. It always points in the negative z direction. It move along the z axis to control depth, and along x and y to control center of view. The models rotate to handle scene rotations. Tom On Feb 5, 2013, at 11:35 PM, "Dougherty, Matthew T" wrote:
It would be helpful to have a variant of "reset list" which would supply the camera values that are tab delimited alongside the position names.
I am trying to get scale factor, hFOV, etc into a spreadsheet for analysis.
