[Chimera-users] crop a map via commandline

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Edoardo,
The “region” option of the “volume” command is the same as setting region min and max in the Region bounds section of the GUI.
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/volume.html#dimensions>

For example, if I have a map #3, then command:

vol #3 region 10,10,10,20,20,20

is the same as GUI:

Region min max step  x[10 20 1 ] y [10 20 1 ] z [10 20 1 ]

That adjusts the display.  If you want to save this region to a file, you could instead use the “save” option,  for example, a command something like:

vol #3 save /Users/meng/Desktop/test.mrc saveRegion 10,10,10,20,20,20

I hope this helps,
Elaine
