[PyMOL] electron density maps

2004-08-08 Thread christopher faehnle
I am a new pymol user and am trying to load an electron density map (ccp4 
format).  When I do this nothing happens.  Any suggestions, tips, etc would 
be appreciated.


Thanks

The map probably loads just fine (there should be a new object showing up  
on the right side panel), but it's doesn't show anything you can see, it  
simply reads the map to memory. To actual create a representation of the  
map do something like


isomesh meshname,mapname

So if for example you had a ccp4 map called foo.ccp4, when you load it, it  
will create a foo object. To get the mesh simply do:


isomesh mesh,foo

If this is not the problem, then please describe pymol version/platform  
and give an example map where it doesn't work.
