[Chimera-users] Python script for reading volume values at atom positions

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Kyle,
I can’t answer about the old script, but if it is feasible for you to do interactively, there is a "Values at Atom Positions" tool included in Chimera.  It’s in the menu under Tools… Volume Data, and it assigns the interpolated values as an atom attribute.  You can write out the values using the File menu of the Render by Attribute tool, which automatically pops up when you click the Histogram button to assign the values.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
