Hi Florian,

  The ChimeraX Programming Manual describes how to package up a ChimeraX plugin (called a "bundle") for distribution on the Toolshed

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

specifically the Building and Distributing Bundles section

https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/writing_bundles.html#bundle-sample-code

Some examples of ChimeraX Python code are at the ChimeraX Recipes web site

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

and Python functions ChimeraX provides are described in the programming manual

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

but you may also want to look at the ChimeraX Python code which is in the distribution

Windows: chimerax/bin/lib/site-packages/chimerax
Linux: chimerax/lib/python3.7/site-packages/chimerax
Mac: ChimeraX.app/Contents/lib/python3.7/site-packages/chimerax

To submit a bundle to toolshed the basic steps are to make the the file that describes the bundle called bundle_info.xml, run the ChimeraX command "devel install /path/to/my/bundle-code", that produces a wheel file that is the standard way Python modules are distirubuted, mybundle.whl, for example from PyPi, and then upload it to the ChimeraX app store called Toolshed by pressing the Sign In button (uses Google Account login), https://cxtoolshed.rbvi.ucsf.edu.

  Send questions if you run into any troubles.

Tom

Hi there,

I'm looking forward to integrate a processing algorithm I coded into a toolshed for ChimeraX.

Are there any available resources in order to get started with plugin/toolshed development for ChimeraX ?

Thanks,

Florian Wernert
