recently I installed Coot 0.6.0 and had so far no problems using it.
Now I wanted to use it combined with shelxl refinement but encounter
the problem that the Sequence view window in the Coot 0.6.0 version
doesn´t present the chains as in earlier versions. I must number
chains in Coot e.g. 1001...., 2001...., 3001.... etc. for creating the
shelxl .ins file. Now the sequence view in the new Coot version
positions the chains along a number line and this line stops after
3245, so that I cannot see e.g. the glycerols that are in the 3000
range and the waters that are in the 4000 range. With the older Coot
versions this was not an issue. There all chains were listed in rows
below each other and there was no number line.
Confirmed - even in the latest 0.6.2 pre.
Stefan and others,
This was due to a limitation - perhaps in X11, perhaps in the canvas
widget, that allowed the maximum size of the canvas to be 2^16 pixels.
Given that there are 8+2 pixels per letter and allowing for a bit of
decoration, that implies a maximum residue number of 3250 or so in the
new-style sequence viewer.
I have reworked the logic of menu item select so that now for large
SHELX molecules you get the old-style (without axes) sequence view.
Thanks,
Paul.
