Hi All,
Is there a way to draw surfaces in coot, or is there a nice associated
program that will draw surfaces in coot.
I know about the dotted surface but I was looking for more of a
continuous surface. Like insight or pymol.
Hi Allen,
Yes there is a way (if I understand what you want), it is not well
interfaced, so not documented.
However (presuming you have a molecule at number 0)
Calculate -> Scripting -> Scheme
(do-surface 0 1)
(set-do-GL-lighting 1)
[The 1s in this case mean "turn it on"]
This does not represent partial charges and you can't change the colour
scale.
CCP4mg (which shares the same code [1] for this feature) is better for
representing surfaces.
