Chimera is our next generation molecular graphics application whose main design goals are extensibility and ease of use. Chimera is being written in Python with C++ extensions and uses commonly accepted specifications such as Tk and OpenGL. In addition, Chimera also uses the locally developed Object Technology Framework. Chimera was significantly overhauled to improve portability and performance. During the overhaul period, we also implemented roughly 75% of the functionality offered by MidasPlus, our previous modeling system. A number of extensions to Chimera were also implemented. The Multiple Sequence File Viewer (MSFViewer) and structure alignment viewer (AlignPlot) report were augmented to interact through the Chimera selection mechanism. Two new extensions, ViewDock and HearDock, were implemented to display and sonify docking results, which include a set of candidate model orientations and their scores. Finally, in a follow-up to the proof-of-concept implemented using MidasPlus, we are in the design stages of implementing a collaboratory using Chimera. The development of Chimera also inspired the implementation of other development tools. For example, we implemented a program which takes as input a C++ library interface and generates the necessary code to make the functionality available in Python, which is the both a development and command language for Chimera.

Chimera 是我们的下一代分子图形应用程序 其主要设计目标是可扩展性和易用性。 奇美拉是 使用带有 C++ 扩展的 Python 编写，并使用普遍接受的 Tk 和 OpenGL 等规范。 此外，Chimera还使用 本地开发的对象技术框架。 奇美拉是 进行了重大修改，以提高便携性和性能。 在大修期间，我们也实施了大约75%的工作。 我们之前的建模系统 MidasPlus 提供的功能。 一个 还实现了对 Chimera 的一些扩展。 倍数 序列文件查看器 (MSFViewer) 和结构比对查看器 (AlignPlot) 报告得到增强，可通过 Chimera 进行交互 选拔机制。 两个新的扩展 ViewDock 和 HearDock 实现显示和声音化对接结果，其中包括一组 候选模型方向及其分数。 最后，在一个 使用 MidasPlus 实施概念验证的后续工作是 在使用 Chimera 实施协作的设计阶段。 Chimera 的发展也启发了其他技术的实施 开发工具。 例如，我们实现了一个程序，该程序需要 作为输入 C++ 库接口并生成必要的代码 使这些功能在 Python 中可用，这既是 Chimera 的开发和命令语言。
