saving image as stereo pair
Hi, It seems to me as if the stereo pair produced when I select 'stereo pair' in save image is crossed-eye stereo (not wall-eye), or is my brain fooling me ? I certainly see a left-handed alpha helix, residues in the front going to the back and D-amino acids when I use my stereoviewer. Please advise. Thanks.

Yes, the image is crossed-eye stereo with the left eye on right -- that is required in the standard for the simple .jps (stereo JPEG) and .pns (stereo PNG) images. Any standard-compliant software viewer should work with those images. Perhaps you're using a physical device? Regardless, please tell me more about your stereo viewer so I can add appropriate support to chimera. Greg Couch postmaster@cgl.ucsf.edu
Hi Boaz, See the "Tips on Preparing Images" - the item on stereo (near the bottom) includes a description of how to make walleye images: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/print.html#tips I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Boaz, Sorry but I must rescind the previous recommendation. The instructions refer to how it should work, but there is currently a bug that prevents saving wall-eye stereo. I'll add you to the notification list for that bug, PR #3262. Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Boaz et al., Here is the approach that currently works for saving walleye stereo pairs: in the Camera tool or with command "stereo" set the left-eye view, then save an image "same as screen." Repeat with the right-eye view. Then assemble the two images in the desired order (left-right for walleye). Elaine ----- Elaine C.
