Isosurface isosurface creates a new surface object from a map object. Usage isosurface name, map, [,level [,(selection) [,buffer [,state [,carve [,source_state [,side [,mode ]]]]]]]] name = the name for the new mesh isosurface object. map = the name of the map object to use for computing the mesh. level = the contour level. (default=1.0) selection = an atom selection about which to display the mesh with an additional "buffer" (if provided). (default="") state = the state into which the object should be loaded (default=1) (set state=-2 to append new surface as a new state) carve = a radius about each atom in the selection for which to include density. If "carve= not provided, then the whole brick is displayed. (default=None) source_state = the state of the map from which the object should be loaded. (default=0) Front or back face. Triangle-winding/normal direction. (default=1) mode = surface geometry (0: dots; 1: lines; 2: triangle triangle-normals; 3: triangle gradient-normals) ..→
