Usage:
savepos [ view_name ]

Usage:
~savepos [ view_name ]

Usage:
savepos list

Savepos saves the current position and associates view_name with it. If view_name is missing, the name default is used. Saved positions can be restored with reset, and the command fly can generate a smooth interpolated path over a series of saved positions.

A position includes:

• the transformations of models (their rotations and translations relative to input coordinates)
• the overall scale
• clipping plane status, locations, and orientations
• the center of rotation method

Saved positions are included in saved Chimera sessions. To decrease the size of session files, positions can be "forgotten" using ~savepos view_name. When a session is saved, the current position is automatically saved with the view_name session-start.

The list keyword indicates that the names of all saved positions should be listed in the status line and Reply Log.
