Hi Yeping, Since you didn't say what structure you were using, I just tested coloring by your entropy attribute file on some other structure. Probably my test structure did not contain the residue numbers with 0.3, so the coloring did not look interesting.
ChimeraX does not yet have the ability to draw a color key (color gradient bar with values marked), although it is being worked on now. Currently if you still want to use ChimeraX for the main image, you could use Chimera to draw the color key separately and then put them together in an image editing program (gimp, photoshop, ...).
I hope this helps, Elaine

Hi Elaine, Thank you for you help. I will send chimerax questions to chimerax mail list next time. By changing the match mode from "1-to-1" to 'any', I can also color the protein according to the entropy.txt file. If you recheck the entropy.txt file you will find that there are quite a few residues have an entropy vavle around 0.3, in addition to the 0.788 residue. Could you tell me how to generate a color gradient bar base on the entropy values in the entropy.txt file in chimerax? Best regards, Yeping
