setting surface color of EM map in command-line

Dear specialists, I want to color spherical slices of different radius of my EM map in command line/script. How to set the "surface color" dialog in command-line? If anyone could give me a example? Thank you! Best regards! Jianhao

Hi Jianhao, The command equivalent to the surface color is scolor. There are examples using it in the documentation. https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scolor.html Tom

Hi Jianhao, The “scolor” command does several types of surface coloring, including the radial coloring you describe. See the “scolor” manual page, “geometry radial” option. The second example near the top of the page uses this option. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scolor.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scolor.html#radial> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
