Jagged edges in chimera X
Hello Elaine, Is there a way to smoothen the jagged edges seen around ribbons and sheets in ChimeraX? The jagged edges can be removed in UCSF chimera by setting the *subdivision *value to 20 and enabling multisampling but I do not see these features in chimeraX. -- Prathvi Singh, Research Fellow, Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur-208016
Hi Prathvi, For ChimeraX questions, you may want to use the other mailing list, chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu CC'd here. As per this recent post, ChimeraX does not have multisampling, but if you are saving an image you can use supersampling: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2022-September/004310.html> ChimeraX also has a "graphics quality" command to increase the number of facets used to draw atoms, bonds, and cartoons (ribbons), although I don't know if that is going to help your issue very much: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/graphics.html#quality> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
