Hi, When I use cartoon style with an atom spec, ChimeraX reports "expected a keyword" error.
This is the "licorice" example from the documentation, which only works without an atom spec. car style protein modeh default arrows f xsect oval width 1 thick 1 car style #6/H protein modeh default arrows f xsect oval width 1 thick 1
Is my syntax wrong?
Thanks, -da
Ah, I'm dumb, "protein" is taking the atom-spec slot.
Best, -da

Hi Daniel, Not dumb, it's easy to get these things messed up!
Yes, "protein" is an atomspec, as is "#6/H". The protein part isn't needed for cartoon style except to limit a broader spec that might also include nucleic acid chains (assuming you don't want it to also apply to those). In general, however, you can combine atomspecs with operator symbols: & for logical AND, | (vertical bar) for logical OR, e.g.
car style #6 & protein modeh default arrows f xsect oval width 1 thick 1
Combinations discussed here: http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html#combinations
