Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the Memorial University of Newfoundland.
I am currently engaged in developing and researching VR applications to visualize biological microstructures.
I learned that Chimerax is a relatively mature piece of software, containing many excellent functions and features. So I'd like to know:
1. Is ChimeraX completely open-source and free? I will only use it for research and non-profit purposes.
2. If ChimeraX is open source, is there a description or summary of the structure/principles of the source code? (In order to learn what features are implemented by each code file.)
3. May I develop new plug-ins/bundles/modules based on ChimeraX's VR mode to implement one or more new features/functions? Could you please briefly describe the feasibility of developing it?
