Hi Stel,

  Here is an example using Python to interactively inspect atomic model data in ChimeraX

https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/inspect/inspect.html

And there are other examples using Python with ChimeraX on the ChimeraX Recipes web page

https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/

and information about the Python atomic data structures in the ChimeraX Programming Guide

https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/modules.html

Hello,
 
I would like to develop a small bundle-plugin for automatically annotating residue labels in protein structures. I tried to access ChimeraX via command line when ChimeraX was running (GUI open) with an opened protein structure in order to study the structure objects hierarchy( chain ->residue ->atoms). This would help me understand it better and code accordingly. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to do so.
 
Could you please suggest me a way, a page or terminal where I could read more about the internal structure of ChimeraX and if possible to programmatically access a session when it’s running in ChimeraX.
 
Kind regards,
Stel Iliadis
