I was wondering if there was a script available that would get the map density values of amino aid residues in a model fitted to an EM or X-ray density map and then write the data to a text file? Essentially what I need is something that does something like this (but not laboriously by hand) e.g. in command line mode select #1:1.B then I use Tools>Volume Data>Fit in Map and click 'Update' to get the average map density value for the atoms in amino acid residue number 1 in chain B of model 1.
