Hi Kyle,

Here is a Python script that adds a savemarkers command. You open the Python file in Chimera (command open savemarkers.py) to register the command, then the command looks like

savemarkers #1 ~/Desktop/mymarkers.cmm

I’ve added this script to the Chimera Python scripts page.

Hi Kyle, Sorry, there is no Chimera command to save marker sets in the cmm format. (As far as I know, the manual page you were looking at is up to date.)

I’m sure it can be done in Python but somebody else would have to shed light on that. Best, Elaine

Dear Chimera dev and community,

I would like to save a marker set from the command line and ultimately do so in a script. Using the write command which I would use for PDB's, marker sets get saved in PDB format, of course. Is there a command to save the marker set as XML .cmm as it would from the volume tracer menu?

I notice at the bottom of the following page this is a suggested development:

Thanks for your help as ever!

Best wishes, Kyle
