on script which can be read and executed by chimera
Dear All, Will you please introduce to me a web link on how to compile and edit scripts which can be read and executed by Chimera? I am looking forward to getting your reply. Smith
Dear Smith,
There are two main choices: Chimera command script or Python script. You don’t have to do any compiling. Just opening the script file in Chimera (e.g. with menu: File… Open) will execute the script, and the type of file is automatically known if you use the standard naming, for example, ending the filename with “.py” if it is a python script. File types and standard naming:

A Chimera command script is just a plain text file with a series of Chimera commands, just like what could be typed individually into the Command Line. More info and links to examples:

A Python script is more like programming. For more information, see the Chimera Programmer’s Guide:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
