Martyn,
Thanks for this. MolSoft has an iPad/Android app called iMolview Lite
which is free. There is more information here:

Dear Dave
I have found the Molsoft ICM browser useful for showing students
structures. There is a freely distributed version available for both
ipad and android. I have not used it for maps but I believe it can
display them.
SGC Oxford originally showed me this software and have great
examples displaying their structures on their web site and in their
PLoS articles. Sorry but I have not used the ipad version - I think
you have to pay a nominal fee for that.
All the best
Martyn

*Subject:* [ccp4bb] showing electron density on an ipad
Hello all,
So, I find an ipad is a wonderful device for teaching (any tablet
really - but I'm partial to the ipad). I can project it in a
classroom, run pymol and a few other chemistry/biochemistry things,
and really get the students interested in these subjects easily. I
actually don't have a laptop - and our classrooms are such that there
are computers connected to the projectors but they have standard
University software packages installed on them.
It would be very helpful if I could just display electron density
using an ipad. The pymol app will load a map (it is an option) - but
when I take a map from my linux machines it doesn't work. Any
thoughts here? Has anybody done this
Thanks
Dave
