We often use chimera because, frankly, it makes gorgeous pictures. Since we simulate DNA as made by rigid nucleotides instead of atoms, we hijack it to make it plot various shapes instead of using atoms directly, but it takes forever to get it to load a configuration like the one attached.
Could you guys do something to make it faster/give as some advice on how to make it plot these things faster? We currently use the input files attached. (chimera.txt should be renamed
chimera.com so that it can be understood by chimera).
