[Chimera-users] How to read a volume in python script

[Conrad Huang]

Hi, Huiya.

Sorry about the broken web page.  That should be fixed now.

Regarding reading a volume file, take a look at 
http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/attachment/wiki/Scripts/readvol.py. 
  (Our volume expert is on vacation right now, so this is my best 
answer.)  There are actually a large number of other scripts written 
for/by users at http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts, 
several of which read and manipulate volume data, so you might want to 
scan through the descriptions to see if there is anything else useful. 
Hope this helps.

Conrad
