Description

The Chimera shapshot program 'apChimSnapshot.py' does not work with the latest version of Chimera (version 1.4). So, we are currently stuck using Chimera version 1.2509 and CentOS 5.

Two things are broken:
  • the Xvfb trick we use to generate images fails on the latest version of Fedora 12.
  • the function call, vertices, triangles = surf.surfacePieces[0].geometry, is deprecated, so we need to find the new function.

It appears in the latest version of Chimera (v1.4) images are rendered off-screen, see:

So, this may allow us to get rid of the Xvfb hack that we've been using.

The scale bar function crashes on CentOS, so fixing the above problems should allow to create a scale bar on the snapshots.
