Dear All,

I am sorry , i hit send before completely explain the issue. I think it is a formatting issue on the defattr input file, which i am not able to identify.

I have attached the input file as attachment.

Kindly review and suggest what could be done to fix the same.

thanks again for your support.,

Hello everyone, I am trying to add mutation counts as a attribute and use it to generate a map of hotspots on the protein .

ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Hello everyone,

I am trying to add mutation counts as a attribute and use it to generate a map of hotspots on the protein .

I followed the format provided on chimerax documentation and i am getting this error :

SyntaxError: Line 12 in KIT-mutations-count.defattr is either not of the form 'name: value' or is missing initial tab

File "C:\Program Files\ChimeraX 1.3\bin\lib\site-packages\chimerax\std_commands\defattr.py", line 107, in defattr raise SyntaxError("Line %d in %s is either not of the form 'name: value'"

i am on windows 11 using chimerax 1.3.

thanks amith

Dear Meng,

Thanks for the guidance.

I was getting other whitespaces into the file. i was using ms visual code to create the file earlier , then upon switching to notepad ++ i was able to get rid of the error.

Hi Amith, It is exactly what the error message says: the assignment lines (which start at line 12 of the file) are missing the initial tab. I.e. you have to put a tab in front of each column in these lines, as it says in the format description:

https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/formats/defattr.html

Maybe you are not familiar with tab? It is a key on the left side of the keyboard. It was used to indent paragraphs in the old days of typewriters.

I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
