Konrad, There are several options for loading map data into PyMOL now:
XPLOR (format=xplor) CCP4 (format=ccpy) O/BRIX (format=brix) In addition, you can use the following non-crystallographic formats: Delphi/Grasp PHI files (format=phi) AVS FLD files (as output from MEAD) (format=fld) and in the current CVS, we have support for DX files output by APBS (format=dx). You can also bypass the file entirely and load an orthogonal "ChemPy brick" into PyMOL via NumPy. Example code for this can be found in examples/devel/brick01.py. Note that you must use a PyMOL build that included numeric Python in order for this to work (the RPMs and Linux binaries do not have it, so you may need to build from source using the _PYMOL_NUMPY define). There's also a "ChemPy Map" approach, which expects opaque packed C float data. Once in PyMOL, you can then use "isomesh" and "isosurface" to create mesh and solid isocontours. Or use "ramp_new" and "color" to color by the potential found in the map. Sorry about the lack of documentation -- it will improve. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delsci.com Warren L.
