[chimera-dev] Save the map after hide dust

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Gary,

  I made it a bit easier to invert the shown portion of the map surface by adding an "sop invertShown" command.  It will be in tonight's daily build.  So to mask the dust on map #0 you could use

	sop hideDust #0 size 25
	sop invertShown #0
	mask #0 #0 invert true

Would be nice to make this easier -- maybe in our next generation Chimera.

  Tom

You could set the map grid points to zero inside the dust blobs with the mask command.  But first you need to be able to show only the dust and there is no command to do that.  I've attached a Python script that does that.  You select the map surface (ctrl-click) that you have done hide dust on, then open the surfinvert.py script to show only the dust.  Then use the mask command
