[Chimera-users] density maps

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Antonio,
I’m guessing you created the density maps for atom types using the occupancy analysis in the MD Movie tool. In that case, the name of the data will be as you specified in the occupancy dialog.  If you did not enter the name "density map_iso.mcr” it is not from this tool, and I don’t know what it is.

In the Volume Viewer tool, you can show more than 3 dataset histograms at a time.  In the Volume Viewer menu, choose "Features… Data display options."  Then the Volume Viewer dialog will have an option “Maximum number of histograms shown” for which enter a bigger number (3 is just the default).  Then you will still have to choose the additional sets from the Data menu in Volume Viewer to show more of them than the 3 that are already shown.

I hope this helps,

I tried with isopropanol molecules and I obtain the map for each atom type: H; C3; O3, CH and another called density map_iso.mcr My concerns are about the last one map. What does it mean? Is it the map for the whole molecules, while the other maps are for each atom type?
