Der CCP4 Experts & Developers,
I am exercising in CCP4i (Windows, 8.0.017) some old-fashioned native Patterson maps for NCS analysis, using 'patterson' of FFT which produces the *.map (dump) file and 3 Harker *.plt files. Unfortunately, epic fail on the display of the results. The ghostview (cf. image) I cannot install (some dll error) and it also seems deprecated. As a workaround I use pltdev to generate a *.ps file and distil it into a pdf and then display. Works, but ghostly 20th century.... ...or I display the map directly in Coot and eyeball the peaks....surprisingly neat and educational. Q1: Do we have a direct way in the GUI to convert/display these CCP4 plt files? I failed adding as PSviewer "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\acrodist.exe" in the interface configuration (problem maybe the blanks). But the entry in the Interface Configuration (config.def) seems sensibly quoted: PS_PREVIEW_NAME,4 _text acrodist.exe PS_PREVIEW_COM,4 _text "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\acrodist.exe" Q2: how do I properly enter the path to the distiller in the interface configuration? Mapslicer is also uncooperative (cf. img). The Interface Configuration entry informs me that "ccp4mapwish [file join [GetEnvPath CCP4I_TOP] bin mapslicer.tcl]". Q3: How should I fix this (I swear I did not wish with the installation)? In search of a more modern approach to this map analysis I also tried CCP4i2 and Phenix, but there was no task like "Make a native Patterson and show me the *&%# map" to be found. Q4: would this be a useful task to provide? (a selfrotation task exists in ccp4i2 via molrep, and there, PS viewing works just fine).
