Hello all, Is it possible to add a new "level" to the rainbow command such that each submodel of a multi-model PDB file (MODEL/ENDMDL records) can be visited separately by the rainbow command? I have some pdb files with several tens to hundreds of submodels in them. Separating them by chain ID (so I can use the rainbow chains command) has proven to be impractical for other reasons, so this would be useful in such a case. Thanks for the great software.

Hi Jarrod, So that I'm sure I'm understanding your request, let me rephrase it: you want each submodel to have a single color, with the submodel colors composing a rainbow from first submodel to last. Is this correct? If so, I don't think it will be too hard to implement.

Yes, that is what I was asking. Thanks for considering this feature request. Jarrod

Hi again, I have implemented the rainbow-across-models feature and could send you the modified Python files to drop into your 1.1951 installation if you wanted it right away. Otherwise, they will be included in our next release, which we're guesstimating to be in about a month. --Eric On Wednesday, May 12, 2004, at 05:29 PM, Jarrod Smith wrote:

Hi Eric, I could use this right away if it is not too much trouble to send the files. Thanks! Jarrod Smith On Wed, 19 May 2004, Eric Pettersen wrote:
