Hi all,

I am trying to use the transform map command in coot but i am getting the
following error
6:19: In expression (0.9956 -0.08709 -0.03537 ...)::6:19: Wrong type to
apply: 0.9956

the command that i used was:
(transform-map 13 (0.9956 -0.08709 -0.03537 -0.08702 -0.9962 0.003531
-0.03554 -0.0004371 -0.9994) (1.235 1.005 0.1625) (11.6806 -8.6401 -14.960) 10)

i have also added the word list before each group of numbers,
(transform-map 13 (list 0.9956 -0.08709 -0.03537 -0.08702 -0.9962 0.003531
-0.03554 -0.0004371 -0.9994) (list 1.235 1.005 0.1625) (list 11.6806 -8.6401
-14.960) 10)

and i got the following error,
arguments to transform-map incomprehensible: args: (13 (0.9956 -0.08709
-0.03537 -0.08702 -0.9962 0.003531 -0.03554 -4.371e-4 -0.9994) (1.235 1.005
0.1625) (11.6806 -8.6401 -14.96) 10)

I am not sure what i am doing wrong, could you please point me in the right
direction ?
  

Dear Rana Refaey,

It seems that the documentation is inconsistent with the functionality 
(i.e. there is (was) either an error in the manual or the code, take 
your pick).

Your courses of actions are:

1) Tomorrow morning pick up pre-release revision 2790 from here:

http://www.biop.ox.ac.uk/coot/devel/build-info.html

2) right now you can drop in the replacement coot-utils.scm which you 
can get from here:

http://coot.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/scheme/coot-utils.scm

3) Alternatively and right now (as JED says) provide the cell and 
space-group too:

(transform-map 13 (list 0.9956 -0.08709 -0.03537 -0.08702 -0.9962 0.003531 
-0.03554 -0.0004371 -0.9994) (list 1.235 1.005 0.1625) (list 11.6806 -8.6401 
-14.960) 10 (show-spacegroup 13) (cell 13))

And as JED also said, you are doing something pretty jolly sophisticated if 
"Transform map by LSQ" won't do what you want.

Thanks, 

Paul.
