[Chimera-users] generating a map from a atomic model with the same size of its reference map

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Zhihai,

  If you want the map computed from an atomic model but on a grid that matches a reference map then you should compute the map with molmap and then resample it on the reference map grid.  If #0 is the atomic model and #1 the reference map.

	molmap #0 8 edgePadding 50
	vop resample #0 onGrid #1

Here the 8 is the resolution for the computed map and 50 Angstroms controls how far beyond the molecule bounding to compute the map.

	Tom

The reason I am asking such a question is that I will convert this mol-map to pif format, and pif format map has dimension of odd number columns.
