[chimera-dev] Crystallographic symmetry

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Airlie,

  You mean when you recenter on an atom it automatically displays map density out to a certain radius from that atom?  We could add that to ChimeraX.  Currently Chimera can extend maps using crystallographic symmetry using the "vop cover” command which takes a map and a molecule to cover.  But that is cumbersome compared to the interactive map zone updating in Coot.
