Dear Users and Developers, I have a ViewdockX question (but I guess it's a more generic one, about coloring models/submodels): is there a trick to color docking results by rank, like rank was some sort of B-factor? Or even by docking energy (score), but that's maybe too much. I could color each "submodel" by hand, but I don't know how to obtain color gradients, say distributed at even distances between blue and red. Years ago I was able to do similar trick in Chimera, but I completely forgot how I did that :( Thank you, Vis On Friday, December 17, 2021, 05:24:30 PM GMT, chimerax-users-request@cgl.ucsf.edu <chimerax-users-request@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote: Send ChimeraX-users mailing list submissions to chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimerax-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chimerax-users-request@cgl.ucsf.edu You can reach the person managing the list at chimerax-users-owner@cgl.ucsf.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of ChimeraX-users digest..."

By default, the "tile" command in Chimera automatically turns it on. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/tile.html> I agree that this mode is very useful, but unfortunately it does not yet exist in ChimeraX.

Hi there, I have a question regarding the tile function in ChimeraX. In the original Chimera, once multiple maps were tiled they would all rotate individually and the grid itself was fixed in space. In ChimeraX, however, once maps are tiled the entire grid rotates as a unit and the individual maps are fixed. Do you know if there is an option to have the maps spin individually instead, like in the original Chimera? Hopefully that description makes sense. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Vis, Since the information available from docking varies from program to program, there are no universal model attributes for the columns shown by ViewDockX, just a model meta-attribute, viewdockx_data, that contains a mapping from column names to values for that model. I've written a Python script that takes that mapping and expands it into model attributes that can then in turn be used by "color byattribute" and other commands to color/select/whatever based on the attribute values. I made a "ChimeraX Recipe" page describing how to use the script and a link to download it. The recipe is here: Make attributes from ViewDockX column information | ChimeraX Recipes <https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/vdx_attrs/vdx_attrs.html> --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
