Re: [Chimera-users] Update volume display without pressing show
Hi Jeff,
I also wasn't able to reproduce this problem. There is probably a real problem but some step that causes it is missing. If you figure out that step let me know.

sorry about the confusion,
what I meant by 'does not work', is that once I have loaded the volume planes tool, it appears to not allow me to select 'update display without pressing show'. (the button is depressed in the dialog box, or i unclick/reclick it, but it no longer toggles 'update....w/o press show' on and off). 2318 build.
sequence:
- load map; display with solid rendering. default is 'update w/o
press show', and you can see the effect of playing with histogram update in realtime.
- start volume planes. now requires me to press 'show' to update the
display. this also includes other volumes that vol planes is not used on, and 'update w/o show' no longer works in surface or solid mode.
close volume planes, or close session. problem persists.
restart chimera, now it allows 'update..w/o press show' again.
so, this happened to me twice, and i figured it was just something to do with the volume planes tool. As I am writing this, I just re-did the sequence above, and now it works (volume plane tool updates, can switch to surface). Because I can no longer replicate this, I should probably be ignored. Also, I just loaded one of the sessions I was having a problem with into a new launch of chimera, thinking there might be some sort of 'system/state snapshot' I could send you, but now it is working too. So, it appears to have been fixed by a restart of chimera. Again, please ignore.
