Rotate image on screen by 6 degrees?
Is there a command that would rotate the image on screen (model and em map) by 6 degrees around the y axis? Im trying to make crossed eye stereo image for a paper, so I can then put the two images together in illustrator - as I see it Chimerax does not do crossed eye stereo, - and in stereo mode the center of rotation is not in the center of the image for me, so that the half images appear windowed differently on left and right? Thank you Robert Stroud stroud@msg.ucsf.edu <mailto:stroud@msg.ucsf.edu> 415 987 7535
Hi Bob! Actually ChimeraX has cross-eye stereo now (in the current daily build, but not the 1.4 release) -- so if you get the daily build, you can use command: camera crosseye The "camera" command also has options for changing certain stereo parameters like field of view and convergence angle: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/camera.html> Or, if you want to stick with ChimeraX v1.4, you can do the rotation with: turn y 6 (or -6 as you prefer). The "turn" command also has a "center" option you could try if the default center is not what you want. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/turn.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
