Hi Oliver, I agree. I think adding an option to molmap like "cube true" to make it add appropriate padding to make the box a cube would be the best approach. That's probably pretty easy and I'll try to add it soon. Thanks for the suggestion. Tom

Hi,
Currently, molmap defaults to creating the new map in a minimal bounding box - a minimal rectangular prism.
Most cryoEM software doesn't like rectangular prisms, and rather prefers cubes (ideally with sides that are an even number of voxels).
Would it be possible to either (a) alter molmap so it defaults to a minimal cubic box or (b) add an option to automatically resample to a cubic box of specified dimensions? Often this doesn't really matter as we have a map already loaded that we can resample on the grid of, but it would be convenient to be able to do this in a single command.
