Re: [chimerax-users] [Chimera-users] Get rotation between two views?
Hi Oliver, Not exactly -- the closest thing I can think of is ChimeraX command "view matrix" but then you'd have to figure it out by comparing the camera matrices given for the two views, if that's even possible. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#matrix> When I make figures that differ by N-degree rotation I have to just save one view, then use a command to make that exact rotation, and then save another view before saving the session.

Hi, In either Chimera or X, is there a way to obtain the orientational relationship between two views?
E.g. if I have two views saved, I would like to be able to say "view 1 is related to view 2 by a 45deg rotation about X and a 25deg rotation about Y" - this would be very useful for figure making/writing purposes. Does this exist?
Cheers Oli
Thanks Elaine! Yes, when two views are related by a simple rotation that is what I do too - for more complicated cases it might be useful to have a function to get the view difference between two saved views in terms of rotations around the X,Y,Z axes. Cheers Oli

Hi Oliver, you can use SSM or LSQ superposition, and report the Omega angle (in crystallography suites). best Vincent Le 10/05/2022 à 19:08, Oliver Clarke via ChimeraX-users a écrit :
