Dynamic mesh

Jump to search
dynamic_mesh displays isomesh around the center of the view. When the view is moved, the isomesh will be updated automatically. You can also change contour level by PageDown/PageUp keys. This script is intended to implement interface similar to Coot for examing electron density maps.
Note: PyMOL's Density Wizard (Menu > Wizard > Density) provides similar functionality. It is implemented using wizard framework, while this uses CallBack object.
Usage
dynamic_mesh mapname [, level [, radius [, sym_source]]]
where
map_name = string: name of volumetric object(map) to display
level = float: contour level of isomesh {default: 0.8}
radius = float: radius of isomesh around the center of the view {default: 8}
sym_source = string: name of object from which symmetry
information is derived {default: None}
Example
fetch 1HWK, async=1
fetch 1HWK, 1hwk_map, type=2fofc, async=1
run dynamic_mesh.py
dynamic_mesh 1hwk_map, sym_source=1hwk
show sticks, resn 117
show ribbon
zoom chain A and resn 117
Note: On PyMOL <= 1.4, you have to download the electron density map from the Uppsala Electron Density Server manually.

This script was tested on PyMOL 1.2 and 1.5.
Example:
fetch 1HWK, async=1
fetch 1HWK, 1hwk_map, type=2fofc, async=1
run dynamic_mesh.py
dynamic_mesh 1hwk_map, sym_source=1hwk
show sticks, resn 117
show ribbon
zoom chain A and resn 117

map from the Uppsala Electron Density Server manually.

DESCRIPTION
Make 'dynamic' mesh from volumetric data such as electron density map.
The mesh will dynamically follow the center of the view.
Contour leveo of isomesh can be changed by PageDown and PageUp keys.
NOTE: Crystallographic operations can be applied to the map.
USAGE
dynamic_mesh mapname [, level [, radius [, sym_source]]]
ARGUMENTS
map_name = string: name of volumetric object(map) to display
level = float: contour level of isomesh {default: 0.8}
radius = float: radius of isomesh around the center of the view {default: 8}
sym_source = string: name of object from which symmetry
information is derived {default: None}
