Hi I was wondering if it is possible to save a carved out section of a map and the read it back into pymol as a separate map. The background is that I'd like to distribute .psw files with a couple of maps, but they get rather large (>50 MB) since the map data is not compressed in pymol. I am only interested in a small portion of the map centered around a ligand and some residues, so the rest of the map would be unnecessary since it will not be shown anyway. I have tried if mapman could do the trick but apparently not. I could probably restrict the calculation of the map to be only centered around a region of interest, but was wondering if this would be possible in pymol.
Thanks Carsten
