[Chimera-users] combining mrc maps

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Daniel,

   Yes, just add the two map with the volume operation command

     vop add #1,2

This will extend the grid of map #1 to cover map #2 then interpolate map 
#2 on that grid and add it.  You may also want to scale the values of 
one map so that the two maps have comparable density ranges using the 
"scaleFactors" option.
