Dear Michele, You can now subtract maps using the command "vop": http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vop.html

Be aware that this subtraction requires the grids of the two maps to be the same (same numbers of points and in the same locations), so you might need to use the "vop" resample option first, if that is not already true.

I believe the "vop" resampling and subtraction options have been available for a while, since version 1.2540 (Jul 2008).

We have been planning to remove the standalone processing programs as the same features become available elsewhere in Chimera, and perhaps they are currently broken.

I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/index.html

Dear all, I want to use the program combine.py to subtract two delphi potential maps. I have the most recent stable version of Chimera installed in /usr/ local/chimera. Following the documentation, I set the PYTHONPATH variable with

setenv PYTHONPATH /usr/local/chimera/share

then I try to run the program with

/usr/local/chimera/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/chimera/share/ VolumeProcessing/combine.py

but the result is always:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/chimera/share/VolumeProcessing/combine.py", line 12, in <module> from VolumeData import Grid_Data File "/usr/local/chimera/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/ __init__.py", line 10, in <module> # File "CHIMERA/share/VolumeData/opendialog.py", line 70, in <module> File "/usr/local/chimera/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/ __init__.py", line 72, in <module>

File "/usr/local/chimera/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/ __init__.py", line 15, in <module>

ImportError: No module named _chimera

How can I overcome this problem?
