[Chimera-users] interactive volume segmentation

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Juha,

  We don't currently have a plan to add volume data segmentation tools
to Chimera.  Some electron microscopy people have expressed interest
in segmentation tools in Chimera.  But this is a big complex problem.
A first step would be to make Chimera volume display able to use mask
files that are produced by segmentation done with programs.

  I'd be the programmer to work on this.  It would help me to have
precise descriptions of exactly how segmentation tools would work.
Then I could better judge how big a programming task it is.
