saving alignment in ESP format using chimerax

Hi, I would like to save a sequence alignment in ESP format but in my chimerax the option "Save EPS" is not present in the menu of the sequence viewer. The menu is only show if I right click inside the sequence viewer and I do not have all options there: [cid:55913c6a-a21d-45c9-b616-c60bdb4a6b4a] Please, could you let me know how can I save the alignment in the ESP format? Is there a way to do it through the command line? Thank you very much for your attention. Kind regards, Ana

Hi Ana, Sorry, ChimeraX does not have an EPS format option for saving sequences or sequence alignments. Currently the formats for saving sequences are formats that are actually used for sequence data: clustal ALN, FASTA, and PIR (NBRF). To instead save an image file of the sequence window you would need to use the screenshot capability of your computer. Regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
