[Chimera-users] delphi potenital map viewing

Hi Klaas,

  The Delphi Viewer is the only tool that can color a molecular surface
according to the potential value.

  Can you email me the Python traceback you get when the "_cubes error: ..."
occurs?  This shows exactly where in the code the error happened.  You find
it by looking at Favorites/Reply Log.

  Having the traceback alone might be enough for me to figure out and
correct the problem.  If you could put the phi file on the web so I could
download it I would almost certainly be able to figure out the problem.

  The Delphi Viewer is supposed to be able handle maps of any size.
It will be much slower than volume viewer, but it should not generate
an error with a large map.

	 Tom
