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]]

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}

Example

fetch 1HWK, async=1
fetch 1HWK, 1hwk_map, type=2fofc, async=1
run dynamic_mesh.py
dynamic_mesh 1hwk_map
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
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 will not be applied to the map.
    Only pre-calculated volume can be displayed.
 
USAGE
 
    dynamic_mesh mapname [, level [, radius]]
 
ARGUMENTS
 
    map_name = string: name of volumetric object(map) to display
 
    level = float: contour level of isomesh {default: 0.8}
