[Chimera-users] Electrostatic potential surface area

[Elaine Meng]

Note that this script gets the area of the patches that are more red than blue, which is traditionally the part with negative potential.  You could either subtract from the total area to get the positive-potential area, or do the coloring the opposite of the conventional way.
