[Chimera-users] Volume Subtractions

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Murali,

   Besides the "vop subtract" command that Elaine mentioned you might be 
interested in the "morph map" capability to animation an interpolation 
between the two maps.

     
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/tutorials/volumetour/volumetour.html#morphmap

This is good for seeing the differences in the two maps.  There is a 
command (vop morph) and a dialog (Tools / Volume Data / Morph Map) for 
doing this.

   If your maps do not have the same normalization you can use the 
"minRMS true" option to vop subtract to scale one so that the root mean 
square difference is minimized.
