Summary: load & display crystallographic electron density maps

Initial Comment:
Adding the ability for Jmol to display crystallographic electron density maps 
would fill in a large missing piece of functionality for crystallographers & 
for the use of Jmol to display crystallographic results.  An example can be 
viewed using the "Electron Density Server" at http://eds.bmc.uu.se/eds/  where 
AstexViewer is used.  Locations like Proteopedia are currently unable to 
display the experimentally determined electron density maps in their Jmol apps 
& this would be greatly valued -- especially with all the hubbub lately about 
possibly falsified structures in the PDB.  Adding in the ability to display 
this information would greatly enhance Jmol's utility at the PDB and 
Proteopedia (as well as more general sites).  This ideal would be to calculate 
and display a map from "structure factors", which would require the calculation 
of an FFT - Can Jmol do that?   If not, then a map would have to be 
pre-computed and then loaded -- these formats are easily provided & I'm happy 
to provide references to the most commonly used formats (CNS & CCP4).

No. Jmol can't do that. 

Do provide a few formats so we can take a look. Are these basically of the
nature of surfaces or structures? (would we use the ISOSURFACE command or
the LOAD command?)
