Hi
I have looked at the reference manual and can't seem to find a way to
fulfill my desire to change colors of the active map or molecule at
key-press.
All the commands I found use "imol" which means you have to know the
exact number. If you're launching Refmac from within Coot, its useful
that Coot changes the map and molecule colors (as it does
automatically) but sometimes I don't like the chosen colors and would
like to change them, just by pressing a key.
So, I would like to add a key binding to set the current (active) map
to a certain color and likewise do the same for the active molecule.
Something like:
(add-key-binding "Blue Map" "b" (lambda () (set-map-colour
*_active-imol_* 51 128 178))
instead of having to use "imol".
Hi Victor,
First, to make the new maps from Refmac be the same colours as the
previous one, add to your ~/.coot file:
(set-keep-map-colour-after-refmac 1)
Secondly, to answer your question:
(add-key-binding "Blueify the Latest 2foFc Map" "b"
(lambda ()
(let loop ((l (reverse (map-molecule-list))))
(cond
((null? l) 'no-map)
((= (map-is-difference-map (car l)) 0)
(set-map-colour (car l) 0.1 0.5 0.68)
(graphics-draw))
(else
(loop (cdr l)))))))
i.e. we have to find the value of active-imol and we do that by working
backwards through the list of map molecule numbers and finding the first
one that is not a difference map.
Note the colour scales go from 0 to 1.
