Hi Shubham,
Is this for your own personal use (rather than something you will be giving to others to use)?  For your own use, to prevent particular tools from starting up when ChimeraX starts up, bring up a context menu over the tool (right mouse click) and uncheck "Start at ChimeraX Startup".  To have a tool start docked or undocked and in a particular location, put the tool in that location and again use the context menu and choose "Save Tool Position".

Subject: Re: [chimerax-users] Docking window for html viewer automacially
 
Hi Shubham,

The ChimeraX command line --notools option will startup without the log, command line, toolbar. 


I don't know of any option or command to tell it to dock a tool.  There is a tool show/hide commmand

https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/ui.html

but it looks like docking is always done with the mouse.  If there were a command to dock a tool you could use the "--cmd" startup option.  It would probably look pretty ugly starting as the html viewer starts undocked and then immediately docks itself.

Hi all,
I hope you are doing well.
 
I am using the following code to open chimeraX along with an HTML file when a condition is met: subprocess.call([path_chimeraX, path_html])
 
Now, in this scenario, is it possible include some codes(perhaps as arguments for subprocess?) that will dock the window for the HTML viewer automatically while also hiding the log and command line interface upon startup of chimeraX? Or should I use a different approach?
 
Regards,
Shubham
