Re: [ccp4bb] xds and cell refinement in cP

2009-10-08 Thread Graeme Winter
Hi Jan, Always worth a try is to process the data in P1 then assigning the symmetry in CORRECT - that way the cell constants can refine to what they want to. It also means you can check that the symmetry actually is cubic. For the majority of data sets in my experience it makes little difference

Hi Andy, If you have a recent CCP4 installation (i.e. 6.something I think) there's diff2jpeg, which does exactly what you want. Otherwise there are also spells to use Mosflm for this which allows a little more control over the greyscale settings. Cheers, Graeme 2009/10/21 Andy Torelli

Hi Francois, SCALEIT in CCP4 sounds like the tool you want - this is for scaling e.g. native and derivitive data sets together. You will need to cad together the two files first though. This is illustrated in the tutorials here:

Hi Folks, I have seen this when you take data from XSCALE to merge in Scala - the former puts I's on the scale I=F^2 making for very large numbers. I typically undo this scaling factor using pointless -c and the multiply keyword. Multiply by 1/the value reported in XSCALE output. Pointless is
