Try adding the line: wait ... before those two commands. That will tell ChimeraX to draw a frame and do all the associated processing before moving on. On 2020-05-07 13:52, Caroline Stone wrote:
Dear All,
As an exercise in scripting, I am trying to write a script to imitate the appearance a published figure (from Toropova et al 2017). I would like to display a semi-transparent map which has been color zoned to match the underlying model in surface view.
ChimeraX does everything in the script apart from the last two commands, in which I color zone the map, and then make it transparent. I don't get any errors in the log to give me a clue what to change. If I omit these last two commands from the script and then make them manually from the command line after the script is finished, it works. Is there something I can change that would allow me to include the final two commands in the script? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
