This manual covers the Chimera Core, the associated tools and libraries, and the internals of application(s) built upon them. The actual applications are documented in the the User Manual.
This code is free for non-commerical use, see the license for details.
The various interfaces are implemented in Python with occasional help from C or C++ code.
There are three major components of the Chimera core: the user interface modules, the data interface modules, and the tool interface modules. The user interface modules support the GUI and the command line interfaces, the data interface modules support the native data types, and the tool interface modules support common functionality and tool registration.
In additons to the core functionality, there are the Tools that use the core, and the Applications that bundle the functionality.
Note
The following modules are in the process of being reorganzied.
