Hi Oliver, I certainly agree that that capability would be nice. Unfortunately, the cross-platform GUI toolkit we use, Tk, has no such capability, so to implement it we would have to write and debug custom code for each of the three platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux) that we support. We will note it on the wish list, but it may have to wait for Chimera 2… --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Oct 27, 2014, at 12:39 PM, Oliver Clarke <olibclarke@gmail.com> wrote:

Greetings,

Just a request for the wish-list - is there any prospect of implementing a color-picker (eye-dropper) in chimera at some point?

This would be particularly handy for matching colors between figures, or to figures made in another program.

At the moment I use an external mac app, Sip, to do do the same thing, but an integrated tool would be nice to have.

Best, Oliver. _______________________________________________ Chimera-users mailing list Chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimera-users
