In the daily builds, I've added the ability to set the synopsis of a user's alias. The "alias synopsis" command can be used after an alias is created to set it's synopsis. -- Greg On 6/10/25 09:40, Oliver Clarke via ChimeraX-users wrote:
Hi,
I use a lot of custom aliases, some quite complicated. It would be useful when creating an alias to have the option to provide a docstring, which could be printed to the log when either executing the alias or listing aliases in the Log (using "alias list").
E.g. I quite like this alias:
``` alias local_fitmap ~sel; close #10000-10001; marker #10000 position cofr; sel #10000; volume zone $2 nearAtoms sel range $3 newMap true modelid 10001 minimalbounds true; fitmap $1 inmap #10001 eachmodel true; close #10001; close sel; show $2 ```
Which fits models or maps to a spherical zone in a target map around the center of rotation - useful for aligning maps locally after 3D classification to look for bound ligands etc - but often I forget the usage pattern (local_fitmap #models_to_fit #target_map radius), so it would be very handy to optionally have this printed to the log when running the alias.
