I have been using chimera/macAqua with sequential stereo with no problems on a CRT. I am running into problems using the depth-q stereo projector because of the way their frame buffer works. Their left and right is inverted relative to the CRT. On other packages I activate a left/right image swap to get around this. Is there something I can do to achieve this on Chimera? Matt National Center for Macromolecular Imaging

Chimera does not have an option to switch the eyes. Since it is a device specific problem, we have expected it to be fixed by the device driver and on other platforms, the device driver does have that option. Lightspeed, who makes the DepthQ projector, is here at SIGGRAPH, so I'll stop by their booth and learn more about the projector. - Greg On Thu, 14 Aug 2008, Matthew Dougherty wrote:

Have something related to displaying surfaces changed in the last production release version of chimera ?. I now get error messages when trying to display surfaces from some pdb files that used to work in the previous version. -- ----------------------------------- Hernando Sosa Dept. of Physiology and Biophysics Albert Einstein College of Medicine 1300 Morris Park Av.

Hi Hernando, Well, lots of things related to surfaces have changed, but in general significantly reducing the failure rate from before - see "Surfaces" and "Major Bugs Fixed" in the release notes: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/relnotes/1.2540.html There are also more messages than before, so perhaps the same errors occurred before but you didn't know about them. Sometimes the error is just in one component such as an interior bubble that you don't really care about. Is the surface that was displayed before not displayed now? Also, it is difficult to know what you mean without an example (you could just give a PDB ID) and your telling us exactly what error message you got. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Just to follow up to the list. This is a generic problem for all OpenGL stereo applications due to the DepthQ projector delaying the images for a full frame. So what OpenGL thinks is the left eye comes out as the right eye and vice-versa. The simpliest solution that fixes all stereo applications is to use a NuVision stereo emittor that lets you switch the left and right eyes. Otherwise, each stereo application needs an option to switch the eyes and currently, chimera lacks that option (to be fixed soon). In the mean time, only use the DepthQ projector with Microsoft Windows. - Greg On Thu, 14 Aug 2008, Greg Couch wrote:

Hi Elaine, The problem does not happen all the time. Sometimes I can display surfaces from the pdbs that cause problems. However, after displaying surfaces from these files, running chimera (trying to rotate or move the molecules) becomes very slow. This is the error message I get when failing to display surfaces: C:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\mscalc.exe 1.400000 2.000000 1 Calculation of some surface components failed (code 5). Falling back to single-component calculation. C:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\mscalc.exe 1.400000 2.000000 0 Surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code 5 Two pdb files that I've been having problems with are 1JFF and 2P4N.

There are also more messages than before, so perhaps the same errors occurred before but you didn't know about them. Sometimes the error is just in one component such as an interior bubble that you don't really care about. Is the surface that was displayed before not displayed now? Also, it is difficult to know what you mean without an example (you could just give a PDB ID) and your telling us exactly what error message you got.

On Windows, I get an error 5. On Linux, I see ton of SES errors, and it eventually fails over to single-component calculation (error -11) (model 1ffk) Dave

Hi Hernando, Dave, et al. Those messages are common and expected. Although the error messages themselves are new, the success rate in surface calculation is actually improved from previous versions. Surface calculation failures in MSMS on some proportion of structures are a known and long-standing problem, possibly the most commonly reported problem. We have been working for some time to write our own code to replace MSMS, but it is not yet ready for public consumption. Changes in this most recent release separated the MSMS part from the rest of Chimera (so it wouldn't crash Chimera), fixed at least one bug in the MSMS library, and increased messages and fallback procedures. In our tests this significantly decreased failures, prevented crashes, and allowed calculation of some components when some other components failed. By components I mean disconnected blobs or pieces. Now I frequently see those messages but still get the desired main/outer surface, whereas the component that failed was a small internal cavity. There will still be instances of complete MSMS failures, where you do not get any surface, but in our tests much fewer than before.
see "Surfaces" and "Major Bugs Fixed" in the release notes: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/relnotes/1.2540.html
MSMS will still fail on some structures, and we are still working on replacement code. I cannot easily explain cases of where you get a surface successfully in the old version but not the new, but it is a numerical failure and it is possible if anything about the computing environment changed (sometimes even the position of the molecule!). The error messages are new, however, so might be alerting you to failures on minor components (small internal bubbles) that you might have been blissfully unaware of in earlier versions.

Hi Dave, On the Mac (Intel Mac 10.4.11, Aqua Chimera version 2548) the multiple component surface calculation fails (error -11) and falls back and succeeds for a single component with lots of warnings.

Hi Hernando,
I wonder if surface calculation is failing more often on Windows. Your two examples 1jff and 2p4n worked on the Mac (Intel Mac 10.4.11, Aqua Chimera version 2548) though it gave some warnings. Reply log output is below.
On Windows, I get an error 5. On Linux, I see ton of SES errors, and it eventually fails over to single-component calculation (error -11) (model 1ffk)
Dave

Hi Dave, Prior to Chimera version 1.2429 (July 21, 2007) only the single component MSMS surface was calculated. In 1.2429 and later the default became to compute all surface components which led to more frequent failures. In Chimera version 1.2500 (March 18, 2008) we made surface calculation call a separate program so that crashes would not crash Chimera. And in Chimera version 1.2501 (March 26, 2008) we made it fall back to single component surface calculation if computing all components fails -- in this case a warning dialog appears. Tom

Hi Hernando, Slow rotation of surfaces could mean your surface is simply big. Is it faster in an older Chimera? What are the Chimera versions and PDB identifiers where there is a difference? Do you have multisampling on (Favorites / Viewing Controls / Effects)? Chimera 1.2540 also uses an optimization called vertex buffer objects that produces a 2-3x speedup on most graphics cards. But it could be slower on old cards. What graphics card and driver are you using? Chimera menu Help / Report a Bug... will include that info in the description. Tom hsosa@aecom.yu.edu wrote:
Hi Elaine,
The problem does not happen all the time. Sometimes I can display surfaces from the pdbs that cause problems. However, after displaying surfaces from these files, running chimera (trying to rotate or move the molecules) becomes very slow.
This is the error message I get when failing to display surfaces:
C:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\mscalc.exe 1.400000 2.000000 1 Calculation of some surface components failed (code 5). Falling back to single-component calculation. C:\Program Files\Chimera\bin\mscalc.exe 1.400000 2.000000 0 Surface calculation failed, mscalc returned code 5
Two pdb files that I've been having problems with are 1JFF and 2P4N.
Thanks
Hernando

One could also build a very simple circuit that just inverts the stereo sync signal before it goes to the emitter. A single transistor is all that's needed. The sync signal level is 0v-5v. --tom
Just to follow up to the list. This is a generic problem for all OpenGL stereo applications due to the DepthQ projector delaying the images for a full frame. So what OpenGL thinks is the left eye comes out as the right eye and vice-versa.
The simpliest solution that fixes all stereo applications is to use a NuVision stereo emittor that lets you switch the left and right eyes. Otherwise, each stereo application needs an option to switch the eyes and currently, chimera lacks that option (to be fixed soon). In the mean time, only use the DepthQ projector with Microsoft Windows.

Chimera does not have an option to switch the eyes. Since it is a device specific problem, we have expected it to be fixed by the device driver and on other platforms, the device driver does have that option. Lightspeed, who makes the DepthQ projector, is here at SIGGRAPH, so I'll stop by their booth and learn more about the projector.

I have been using chimera/macAqua with sequential stereo with no problems on a CRT.
I am running into problems using the depth-q stereo projector because of the way their frame buffer works. Their left and right is inverted relative to the CRT.
On other packages I activate a left/right image swap to get around this.
Is there something I can do to achieve this on Chimera?

I also took the theater emitter apart, looking for some kind of switch or jumper. I was surprised by the amount of electronics. I expected the bank of power transistors to drive the ~30IR LED, the other stuff I did not expect. I need to contact the manufacturer, stereographics, about possible modifications. As for the frame delay sync problem between the projector and the CRT, one solution would be a vga delay box, if it exists, where it inputs vga, buffers it and delays it by adjustment, and outputs vga. I will contact the crt manufacturer to see if they have some ideas. Right now we are experimenting with passive/polarized stereo, but that requires projectors. So I am anticipating the continued need for active goggles for workstation situations. Another variable on the correct approach is the direction the entertainment/gaming/film industries.
