making color zone transparenct
Dear all Is there a command or a way to make a zone colored EM map transparent? -- Best, Yashar Sadian Christoph Mueller's group Structural and computational Biology Unit European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Meyerhofstrasse 1 69117 Heidelberg, Germany Phone: 0049-6221-387-8496 Email: sadian@embl.de
Dear Yashar, I was going to say just use the transparency command, e.g. transparency #2 50 <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/transparency.html> …but I see that generates an error in the current daily build. I’ll make a ticket to report the bug. I also tried volume #2 transparency .5 <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/volume.html#general> …but that did not work after coloring by zone, nor did trying to change the color with a command (ex: volume #2 color pink) or the color well on the Volume Viewer dialog. Another ticket, presumably related to the first. Sorry for the problems, and thanks for bringing our attention to them. Elaine ----- Elaine C.

The annoying workaround for now is to make the atoms/markers transparent before doing the color by zone. E.g. if the atoms or markers are #1, command: transparency #1 50 target a The transparency command default is to only affect surfaces, so “target a” is needed to specify the atoms. If you don’t want the atoms to be transparent, you can change them back to 0% transparent after doing the color by zone. I hope this helps, Elaine

The transparency command on volumes has been fixed in tonight's daily builds. It was broken before Christmas by some changes to simplify the code that updates volume renderings. Tom
