Volume

Volume visualization of electron density for PDB 1oky
Volume panel for the 1oky volume example. It has the iso-levels on the x-axis and the opacity (1.0 - transparency) on the y-axis.


Volume creates a new volume object from a map object. The data (3D scalar fields) are shown as a true 3D object using coloring and transparencies defined by the user to illustrate the data values. This technique supports single and multiple isosurfaces.

Usage

volume name, map [, ramp [, selection [, buffer [, state [, carve ]]]]]

Arguments

  • name = the name for the new volume object.
  • map = the name of the map object to use for computing the volume.
  • ramp = str: named color ramp {default: }
  • selection = an atom selection about which to display the mesh with an additional "buffer" (if provided).
  • carve = a radius about each atom in the selection for which to include density. If "carve" is not provided, then the whole brick is displayed.
