[Chimera-users] local cross-correlation coefficient

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Zhihai Li,
Why not just use the single correlation value reported by Fit in Map?  That makes more sense to me than trying to get local values and then averaging them back together, which would accumulate various interpolation and rounding errors.   I can't think of a convenient way to do the averaging, but even if I could, I wouldn't recommend it.

If you were fitting an atomic structure into a map, a map was simulated from the atomic structure and then compared with the other map.

Then you could color the isosurface of one of the input maps to show the different local correlation values in different places, for example with Surface Color (in menu under Tools… Volume Data).
