685	Add wire display style for molecules	olibclarke@…	Tom Goddard	"On May 23, 2017, at 9:47 AM, Oliver Clarke wrote:

Hi, would it be possible to add wire representation to ChimeraX?

Two reasons:

1: In regular Chimera, wire representation is much, much faster for rotation/translation for large models when clipping is enabled, so I find it useful to get the right view (before switching to another representation). This is probably due to the fact that I’m running Chimera on a MacBook pro with integrated graphics, but I think this is probably not so uncommon as a use case.

2: Even although it is old school and basic, for some purposes (e.g. in conjunction with mesh maps), I prefer this representation, as it has clean, simple lines which are nice for emphasizing connectivity/angles.

Cheers
