Hi all, This is perhaps more of a wish list request… I often use coot to make density figures for presentations of a structure still in progress, but it is difficult to convey the shape or quality of density from a 2D snapshot.
A feature that perhaps might be helpful in this regard would be to add an option, in addition to taking a simple screenshot, to take an "animated screenshot". I would envision the user being able to select the rotation axis (x, y or z), and coot stitching together a few screenshots to create an animation of rocking about said axis, perhaps 10 or 20 degrees either side. I realize this is a feature that will probably be near the bottom of the list in terms of desired features, but I believe it would be helpful for conveying density quality and the fit of the structure to the density to those not actively involved in the model building process. Cheers, Oliver.
