Isomesh isomesh creates a mesh isosurface object from a map object. Usage isomesh name, map, level [,(selection) [,buffer [,state [,carve ]]]] name = str: the name for the new mesh isosurface object. map = str: the name of the map object to use for computing the mesh. level = float: the contour level (in sigma units) {default: 1.0} selection = str: an atom selection about which to display the mesh with an additional "buffer" (if provided). buffer = float: (see selection) state = int: the state into which the object should be loaded (default=1) (set state=0 to append new mesh as a new state) {default: 1} carve = float: a radius about each atom in the selection for which to include density. If "carve" is not provided, then the whole brick is displayed. Example <source lang="python"> fetch 6sps fetch 6sps, type=2fofc mesh for entire map object isomesh mesh_all, 6sps_2fofc mesh within bounding box of ligand, enlarged by 2 Angstrom isomesh mesh_ligand, 6sps_2fofc, selection=(resn LR5), buffer=2 mesh only ..→
