Hi, when using the chimerax.ui.options.EnumOption, are you supposed to create a subclass that specifies the attributes "labels" and "values"? the documentation doesn't say anything about it. Regards, Daniel Palma Igor

Hi Daniel, The documentation is kind of sparse there -- I'll try to remedy that soon. Yes, you would make a subclass. If you subclass EnumOption then you only specify "values" not "labels" -- text shown to the user will be the same as the values. If you subclass SymbolicEnumOption, then you would specify both "values" and "labels", and "labels" is what is shown in the user interface. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi Daniel, I have committed documentation for those options, which will show up in the next build. I have also made it possible to use them without subclassing, by providing the 'values' keyword to the EnumOption constructor, or both 'values' and 'labels' to the SymbolcEnumOption constructor. --Eric
