I think that the option 'fullmap True', when appended to the command mask, should solve your problem about different map size and origin. About the smoothness of the iso-surface from the mask, I can just agree that it is different. Giovanni On Apr 20, 2010, at 12:06 PM, weimin wu wrote:
Sometimes after we remove the dust using the tool of hiding dust, we want to save the map directly instead of using command "mask #0 #0" to generate a maskfile. The reason is that the masked map has minimized map size and different with original one. Even after we recover the map size and origin, it always has half pixel issue, and if we apply this mask to original map, the output will have some masking artifact. The iso-surface of the output will not be as smooth as original map or the map after hiding dust.
