orthogonal views
Hi Chimera's ... is there an easy way to create orthogonal views at the same time of a molecule ? The idea is to open a (pdb) file and visualize the molecule from orthogonal directions at the same time in one viewer. Rotation/ movemements of the molecule should be done then on all three views at the same time of course. Maybe you have already implemented such an option (similar to the stereo viewing ...) Tx, -T. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- Thomas C. Marlovits, PhD, M.A.S.

Hi Thomas, I believe the only alternative view synchronized with the main window is in the Side View tool (under Favorites). The default is a side view, but you can change it to "top" if that is any better. You can make the Side View window large, but it is fairly limited in that there are only 2 choices of view, the background color does not change, it doesn't show the labels, etc. When I tried this I kept attempting to move the structure with the mouse in the Side View, which doesn't work!

Hi Thomas, A cumbersome way to do this is to open 3 copies of your molecule, move them so they don't overlap. Rotate one copy 90 degrees about the x axis and another 90 degrees about the y axis and turn on independent center of rotation. This is too tedious to be useful unless the purpose is for making a movie. Chimera does not support multiple graphics windows. Tom Thomas C. Marlovits wrote:

This is an old request that is a good idea, but has never had a high enough priority to do. I've added you to the notification list for bug 230, so if we ever do it, you will be one of the first to know. Greg
