[Chimera-users] coloring 3D maps according to local cross-correlation fit of docked PDB structures

Hi J-F,

   I added the "vop localCorrelation" command to Chimera that computes 
the correlation between two maps over a moving window of size N by N by 
N voxels.  The result can be used to color surfaces or atoms as shown in 
the attached picture of a zinc transporter (3j1z) and 13 Angstrom 
resolution EM map (EMDB 5450).  To color the surface I used

     open 3j1z
     molmap #0 13
     open emdbID:5450
     vop localCorrelation #0 #1 windowSize 5 model #2
     scolor #1 volume #2 cmap .8,blue:0.9,white:1,red
     transparency 30 #1

If you leave off the windowSize option to vop localCorr it defaults to 5 
voxels.  The colored atoms in the picture and the color key were made 
with the Values at Atom Positions dialog (menu Tools / Volume Data / 
Values at Atom Positions) and the Render by Attribute dialog (menu Tools 
/ Depiction / Render by Attribute).

   The calculation is quite slow because it is being done in Python. It 
took a minute for the 28 x 32 x 37 simulated map and 160 x 200 x 160 EM 
map.  It computes local correlation at the grid points of the first map 
in the vop localCorr command.  It will only be a little effort to do the 
calculation in C++ which will be one hundred times faster but I don't 
think I have time to do that today.

   The new command will be in tonight's daily build.

     Tom
