Usage:
reset [ view_name [ frames [ method ] ] ]

Usage:
reset list

Reset restores models to a default position or one previously saved with savepos. A view_name is specified when a position is saved. If view_name is missing, the name default is used.

A position includes:

Unless changed with savepos, the default position is one in which the models have not been rotated or translated.

Saved positions are included in saved Chimera sessions. When a session is saved, the current position is automatically saved with the view_name session-start.

Reset restores the named position over the specified number of image update frames (default 1). For frames > 1, an interpolation method (default linear) is used to generate a path from the current position to the named position. Currently, interpolation does not work with the default position, and the only method available is linear. Whereas reset interpolation considers only a pair of positions at a time (start and end), the related command fly can generate a smooth interpolated path over a series of multiple saved positions.

The list keyword indicates that the names of all saved positions should be listed in the status line and Reply Log.

Models may have been closed or opened since the position was saved. How these situations are handled:
