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:
“A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
“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)
“Machinery is aggressive. The weaver becomes a web, the machinist a machine. If you do not use the tools, they use you. All tools are in one sense edge-tools, and dangerous.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
