[Chimera-users] occupancy calculations

[Benjamin SCHWARZ]

Hi Tom,

  Not sure I understand you well, my problem doesn't seem to be merely connected with threshold settings.

Please have a look at the attached screenshot.

I generated the red map with the occupancy tool, values range from 0 to 213.
Then I saved it, changed the name, reopened it, and got that yellowish map with values from -128 to 127.
It looks like a certain range of values was somehow shifted somewhere in the process…

This is set with the volume dialog by moving the bar on the histogram or using the level entry field, or you can use the volume command (volume #0 level 0.123).  The displayed level when you first created the map was apparently much lower than the level that is automatically chosen when you open the saved map file.

The two options (other than the previous behavior which is also available) is to increment all grid cells within the atomic radii uniformly, or to increment those closer to the atomic center more.  The latter is a very simple scheme in that the "outermost" cells are incremented by 1, the next layer by 2, the next by 3, etc. with the center cell getting the highest increment.
