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.
