color submodels using a palette
Dear all,
I have a pdb with 20 submodels inside (NMR type) that opens well in chimeraX.
I would like to color each submodels individually, using a palette accross these models. For example from model #1.1 in red to model #1.20 in blue.
I couldn't find the command online, does it exist in ChimeraX?
Thank you Vincent
Hi Vincent, Sure, it's just the "rainbow" or "color sequential" command described here: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#sequential
Examples:
rainbow #1 structures palette RdYlBu color sequential #1 structures palette accent
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi Elaine,
thank you again for your help. After playing around with it, I was wondering if there is a way to specify the beginning and end colors for the rainbow. I've tried several things that didn't work.
Thank you Vincent

Hi Vincent, With the "palette" option of the "color" (or "rainbow") command you can specify whatever colors you want. Either the name of a palette, or any set of colors that you like, as described here: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#sequential https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#palette-options https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/colornames.html#builtin
Example:
rainbow #1 structures palette blue:dodgerblue:lime:gold:coral
