[Chimera-users] same volume data values over the entire volume

[Tom Goddard]

The message "no volume data for surface" doesn't make sense and I don't see that error message anywhere in the code.  But I do see the error message "No data values for surface" in the code.  If that is what you get it means that your surface is not within the bounds of the volume data.

When using "volume data gradient norm" I get the expected colors, i.e. strong local changes of the volume data are red and spots where there is essentially no change are in blue. How is this possible? If I understand correctly, "volume data gradient norm" colors according to the first derivative of "volume data" or is this wrong?  Do I need something like a normalization?
