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:
“We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Armies, though always the supporters and tools of absolute power for the time being, are always the destroyers of it too; by frequently changing the hands in which they think proper to lodge it.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
