I assume that this first example is supposed to have
some comparision
operatoer ... one of:
 > >= == <= < !=  (or their syntatical equivalents)

command,

Yes, adding &#039;occupancy&#039; as an atom property that can be
used in atom
expressions can be easily done.

We will also add an operator to the label formatter so
that this data
can be output.
  label %o

neither &#039;%o&#039; nor &#039;%O&#039; are used yet.

Q: Do you want to use lowercase &#039;o&#039; or uppercase &#039;O&#039; ?
(we would use the
lowercase version unless we want to reserve it for some
other atom
property that is more popular)


I opened up a few .pdb files and took a look. The only
values I saw were
&#039;0.00&#039; or &#039;1.00&#039;

Q: Is this a &#039;binary&#039; field, with values of 0.00 and
1.00 only?

Q: If so, why did the .pdb make it a float?

Q: If not, what is the range of possible value?

Q: If I see a file that has spaces in this field, is
the default value 1
?



Finally ...

Q: Can someone give me a 25 word description of what
occupancy means?


Thanks,
