Hi Leila, What feels like two centuries ago, we had written a program that would read a ccp4 map and produce a postscript plot containing both contours and a dithered grayscale representation of the map. This is useful for complex projections like the one shown in [1]. The program (mcps) is still available via our pages ([2]), it even has documentation ([3]), but the ready-made executables are really old (and the old timers will certainly smile hearing that the tarball contains executables for irix, osf and solaris, but sorry, no VMS :-)) Having said that, the circa 2001 linux executable appears to run flawlesly under ubuntu 10.04, but as always YMMV.
