[chimerax-users] Re: insertion codes in labels

Hi Alexis, There is an attribute for the insertion code, namely 'insertion_code'. The default residue label created by the "label" command really should include the insertion code but it currently doesn't. However if you use Actions→Label→Residue→Name and Number, the residue label will include the insertion code and you will be able to see in the log the command it used to do that. Starting with tomorrow's 1.8 daily build, the label command will also include the insertion code by default. We didn't put it in the 1.7 release candidate because we are very close to making it a production release and are leery about making any non-bug-fix changes to its code. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hello,

A two part question from me today:

Part A. What is the syntax to get the label command to show insertion codes? As far as I can tell, insertion codes are not attributes. I can see that the insertion code is part the residue ID, but I don't know how to specify it as part of the label command.

Part 2. Would you consider having residue labels show insertion codes by default? This would be very useful when labeling residues from antibodies with Kabat numbering, for example, and my guess is it wouldn't "hurt" existing usage.

My apologies to Elaine in advance if I missed all this in the documentation.
