The 2D labels keeps on moving away. Inb
Whenever I am trying to label the structure with 2D labels and after that when I am trying to save it as a POV ray image, the labelling keeps on moving away from the original position. What should I do to keep the labelling in the original place? I have attached the normal jpeg picture and the POV ray picture saved as PNG.
Hi Shinjini, It may be a bug with the POVray part of saving images, which is not used often. In general to report a problem you should use menu: Help... Report a Bug, since that would tell us more about what version of Chimera and what kind of computer you are using.
However, I strongly recommend just using Chimera for the rendering (not POVray) to make figures for publication. I personally find I can make much clearer and nicer images that way. If you want shadows in the images, you can turn them on directly in Chimera, e.g. command:
set shadows

See also "Tips for Preparing Images" which is also shown using the "Tips" button on the Save Image dialog: http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/print.html#tips
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
