Attribute Inspectors

Items in Chimera such as atoms, bonds, residues, and models have attributes: properties with names and values (details...).

The Selection Inspector provides access to attributes of items that are selected.

The Model Panel lists models of various types. Once a model has been chosen in the left side of the Model Panel, clicking the attributes... button in the right side brings up an attribute inspector:

Similarly, the PseudoBond Panel lists pseudobond groups. Once a group has been chosen in the left side of the PseudoBond Panel, clicking the attributes... button on the right side brings up an attribute inspector: Descriptions in the inspector dialogs are not necessarily identical to the attribute names used in commands such as setattr, but for most attributes, placing the mouse cursor over the description shows the attribute name and other information in balloon help.
