Volume Data Tools
- many formats of volume data maps (electron density, electrostatic potential, others) read, several written
- interactive threshold adjustment, multiple isosurfaces (mesh or solid), transparent renderings
- fitting of atomic coordinates to maps and maps to maps
- density maps can be created from atomic coordinates
- markers can be placed in maps and connected with smooth paths
- display of single data planes, optionally as topographic maps
- volume data time series playback and morphing
- many tools for segmenting and editing maps
- Gaussian smoothing, Fourier transform
- measurements: surface area, surface-enclosed volume, map symmetry, others

Famous quotes containing the words volume, data and/or tools:
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it—all my life.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“A life I didn’t choose
chose me: even
my tools are the wrong ones
for what I have to do.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
