Hi all,
making my first steps in ccp4mg, find many features very nice, but ran into the following problem:

I want to display a fairly thin slice of electron density in order to compare the connectivity of different maps, and write the picture into a file.

With the simple snapshot option I get the correct slab that was displayed in the gui:

With the povray snapshot option I get a much thicker slice:

This is a bug, I will have to fix this.

Any ideas what I can do about this?

Also, is there a simple way to change the slab, eg. by command line? Both the ruler in the gui or the keyboard commands appear very slow even when the maps are turned off.


A completely new slab will be in the next release (which I am starting to prepare today after fixing your bug), the current gui will go altogether. The new slab will always be at the rotation centre; if this is not flexible enough we will alter this behaviour. A new gui will be offered which just allows altering of thickness. The keyboard should alter the slab, but I have to fix this for the "new slab".

Btw. we are using ccp4mg 0.12.1 that comes with ccp4 6.0.1.


"1.0" will appear early next week.
Thanks a lot for input
Jan


Best Wishes,
Stuart McNicholas
