//! Write geometry to a python file for Chimera to read
/** The writer writes a python file which can handle markers, edges
    and surfaces.  Since these are native chimera objects, they are
    handled a bit better than vrml ones.

    This format creates one file per frame. So if you want to use frames
    and save them all, make sure there is a "%1%" in the file name string
    passed to the constructor.

    \deprecated Use IMP::rmf instead when interfacing with Chimera.
