Re: [Chimera-users] visualisation of volumes

Hello Michał, The answer is actually shown in the command line of your screenshot image! You would use the “volume” command to set levels and colors. Instead of a color name you could give r,g,b,a values (red, green, blue, alpha=opacity, each on a scale 0-1). Just like you can say “level” multiple times in the same command, you can also give “color” multiple times. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#general> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hello,
how can I achieve the effect visible in attached image from command line?
I need to add several semi transparent isosurfaces for a single volume.

Thank you! I was confused becasue I messed up solid and surface render styles. -- pozdrawiam serdecznie Michał Kadlof <m.kadlof@cent.uw.edu.pl> 2017-11-16 20:08 GMT+01:00 Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu>:

Hello, https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/bild.html I am a huge fan of this chimera feature, so I hope it will not disappear (trivial to create graphical annotations by hand or via a program). Regards, F.

We've been debating that. The bild format has many commands. Which ones do you use? I ask because I have code that implements the transforms, color, and shape commands, but not any of the line drawing, polygon or marker commands. Does that work for you? -- Greg On 11/16/2017 04:35 PM, Francois BERENGER wrote:
