[Chimera-users] vop binning

[Katrina Lexa]

Thank you for the speedy response!
What I would like to do essentially is to examine only the volume data 
that lies within 3 angstroms from each edge of my box. I'm hoping to be 
able to count the atoms within that area and obtain an idea of 
population counts for different molecules far away from the protein. 
Thanks for the direction to the interpolate code, that looks really helpful!
