-== Other changes ==
-
-1. Make color objects immutable.  Chimera 1 allows redefining a color and having all graphics objects using that color automatically update.  Complexity of that is not worth it.
-
-2. Integrating Nucleotides, Thermal ellipsoid, and Pipes and Plank styles into core is a lot of work.

+ labelFontSize (integer points)
+ labelFont (e.g. helvetica)
+ labelStyle (normal, bold, italic)
+ labelsOnTop (true/false, labels drawn on top of molecules)

+
+== Changes ==
+
+1. Should molecular surface attributes (color, per-atom visibility, category) be removed from Atom objects?
+
+2. Should nucleotide display style be in the Residue class (currently in Python / VRML in Chimera 1)?
+
+3. Should pipes and planks display style be part of Chain class?
+
+4. Should thermal ellipsoid display style be part of Atom class?
+
+5. Should wire bond and dot atom display styles be supported?
+
+6. Should vdw dot surfaces be removed from molecule classes?
+
+7. Should color objects be immutable?  Chimera 1 allows redefining a color and having all graphics objects using that color automatically update.  Complex code.
