Hi Pranav,

  I guess you mean you want to save a 360 degree projection image of your colored map?  There is nothing quite like that in ChimeraX.  If you want a 360 view from the center of the map you can get that with ""camera 360"" after positioning the view point in the middle of the map.  For example

	open 1080 from emdb
	color cylindrical #1 palette redblue
	move z 350
	turn x 90 center #1
	camera 360

There is also command volume unroll that can unroll a cylindrical map.  But it does not preserve coloring.  And there was a flatten icosahedron capability that worked with atomic models in Chimera that is not in ChimeraX.

For what you want you could spin the model around 360 degrees recording images each 0.2 degree, then have a script take the center column of pixels from each image and lay those columns side-by-side in a single image 1800 pixels wide.

  Tom

Example of camera 360 giving view inside map EMDB 1080.
