Dear Elaine and Tom and other Chimera-developers/maintainers, I cannot tell you how much I admire (and appreciate) what you have done with Chimera !!! I am just getting the last touches on a collaborative paper with colleagues from the University of Edinburgh and I used Chimera for much of the modelling of a large protein (Condensin) and for lovely images as well. We'll make sure we give you proper credit! One thing I'm having problems with - I am now trying to save image in high-resolution (600dpi) that show pseudo bonds Each pseudobond highlights a distance constraint, i.e. they are drawn by the distance function/monitor and are visible beautifully on the screen. However, when I save (as .png, .jpg or whatnot) the pseudo bond doesn't scale, i.e. becomes so thin compared to the regular bonds that it cannot be seen unless one zooms in like mad. Doesn't matter how wide I ask the pseudo bond to be on the display. Is there a way to change the preferences for how (thick) pseudo- bonds are rendered when I save an image using Chimera-rendering? Sorry to bug you so close to Labor Day weekend but if you had a quick answer (even if there isn't) that would help. Alternatively I could maybe draw lines/bonds but it seems such a pity since the pseudobonds are so beautifully telling the story on my screen ... in the worst case, we'll screen shot for now, of course ;-) Cheers and again I have become a Chimera fan recently and I am now telling students and coworkers to use it instead of PyMOL - also because of the amazing tutorials and help pages. W-O-W !!! Dietlind *Elaine, in case you don't remember me - I was a postdoc with Fred Cohen when you were in Tack's lab in the Midas days a long long time ago :-) -------------------------------------------- Dietlind L Gerloff, PhD Senior Fellow Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution (FfAME) Gainesville, FL 32604 email: dgerloff@ffame.org --------------------------------------------
