Hi, I don't remember the details, but I do remember that I had some troubles using bricks when I was writing the APBS plugin. The DX file format is really simple, though, especially for this sort of thing.
http://apbs.sourceforge.net/doc/user-guide/index.html#opendx-format If I recall correctly, my problems with bricks were mostly that I wasn't using them correctly, but I didn't figure out how to use them correctly until after I'd already converted everything to DX. -Michael Lerner On 2/19/07, BuzB <bmb...@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi All, Thanks to everyone and for the responses to and encouragement about my query on visualizing molecular orbitals in pymol. I'm using PyMol 0.99rc6. I feel like I'm quite close to a solution. I've developed a routine to compute a 3 dimensional matrix containing the probability amplitudes of the orbitals, which I can load into a PyMol brick object. Then, things start to go wrong.... When I use the load_brick function in the cmd module; cmd.load_brick(brik, "Brick") or alternatively, cmd.load_object(loadable.brick, brik, "Brik") PyMol returns the message; ObjectMap: Map Read. Range = 0.000 to 0.000 but it does display the object "Brick" in the objects menu. I can then create an isomesh or surface with the command; cmd.isosurface("BrikSurf", "Brick", 0.1) But no surface is displayed on screen. The example file brick01.py that is included in examples/devel does something almost identical to what I'm trying to do, it displays an exponentially decaying density, but also with no success in PyMol 0.99rc6. Is there a bug somewhere in the load_brick function that I'm running into? Thanks a lot! bmb197 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
