UCSF Chimera - Volume Data Tools

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:

    The other 1000 are principally the ‘old Yankee stock,’ who have lost the town, politically, to the Portuguese; who deplore the influx of the ‘off-Cape furriners’; and to whom a volume of genealogy is a piece of escape literature.
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    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)
