[ccp4bb] map display in pymol

2009-11-04 Thread Raja Dey
Dear Friends, I can create a mesh in pymol as follows: isomesh 2ffmesh, nov42_001_2mFo-DFc.map, 2.5, sele, carve=1.6, where the 'sele' is a particular residue and the map is created ommiting that residue from the pdb. But, I can't create the mesh in pymol when I am using Fo-Fc m

I should add that I have only seen Joel Bard's Zalman monitor briefly. We tweaked the settings a bit to improve the representation in the following way: 1) use nvidia-settings to override application anti-aliasing - crank it up to 16x if you have a good graphics card 2) add to ~/.coot file

I can personally verify that the new Nvidia 3D Vision system on 120 Hz LCD monitors and a Nvidia Quadro FX Video Card display stereo flawlessly in Pymol, Wincoot, UCSD Chimerica, and any other application that uses OpenGL or Direct3D as its display media within both Windows Vista and Windows 7 (Nv

The Zalman defeats these with a very smart trick. We got out first one, and it's really very good, albeit not perfect in some details. Pymol and Coot worked just like that with it. Sent from my iPhone On 4 Nov 2009, at 19:26, Justin Hall wrote: Hi Ajit; One of our CRT monitors broke rece

Rubbish, excuse my English :-) I have four Zalman's running in stereo although I have to confess they're all running on various Macs (MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, MacPro) under 10.5 or 10.6. I have no clue if the Zalman runs under linux. Regarding the stereo effect it is superior than conventional

Hi Ajit; One of our CRT monitors broke recently, and in the context of bemoaning the loss to a friend I was told that LCD monitors will not work for stereo viewing. I understood the reason to be related to the difference in refresh rates (?), with LCD's not being fast enough so that the v

Hello everyone, Sorry for a non-CCP4 related question again. Can anyone let me know how to make stereo work on linux with Zalman monitor with Coot? Is it as simple as what we do with CRT monitors? Or do we need something else? We presently use CRT monitors on a Quadro FX 4600 graphics card.
