Help:Color Keys
From Proteopedia
A molecular scene usually communicates best when a color key is provided. It is planned that a future version of Proteopedia will provide a mechanism to place a color key in the legend or caption beneath the molecular scene in Jmol (see Proteopedia:Wishlist), but this is not yet available. At present, you can put colored text or an image in the wikitext of your page.
Templates are available to make it easy to insert a color key for some of the standard color schemes. How to do this is explained on the page about the DRuMS Standard Color Schemes, where you will also see examples of color keys as colored wikitext.
The following templates for color keys are currently available:
- DRuMS Composition (See DRuMS for how to use Templates).
Protein DNA RNA Ligand Solvent
