Dear JMol users,

I'm trying to represent ligand pocket in JMol. For this purposes, I've  
two pocket representation as input: PQR file that contains a set of  
so-called alpha spheres having a defined radis, and DX file format  
used by DataExplorer (see  
http://www.cs.wpi.edu/research/DataExplorer/tutorial/data.html), that  
defines a discrete grid, and that can be read by pymol, and much more  
efficiently in term of representation by VMD.

I've two questions here:

1. I'm trying to render the alpha spheres volumes defined in the last  
column of the PQR format, color it according to the residue name, and  
make it sligntly transparent, but so far I haven't find the way to do  
so. Is it possible?

2. Does JMol can read DX format? This second way to represent pockets  
is related to electron density map, and is represented by this format.

3. In a more general way, if I want to add to a given model a custom  
object, say a sphere with a given radius for example, and if I want to  
render it (volume, transparency, surface, custom color), to link it  
with other objects with a distance criteria, to select neighbor  
atoms... what would be the best way to do so ? Or the best place to  
learn it actually ? (if any, I'm prepared to go through the source  
code!)

That's it, thanks in advance!
Vincent.
