Good afternoon, I am looking for several methods to crop out a map region from a larger density map. So far I know the command "volume region" but to use the command I need to know in advance the grid indices of the region I want to crop. Are there any more convenient methods to crop out a map region (maybe using mouse to directly drag a region from the volume map)? Thank you very much.
Best regards, Thu
Hi Thu, There is a "crop" mouse mode to crop interactively. You can assign it to right mouse using the icon in the Right Mouse tab of the toolbar (looks like a cube with an arrow next to it), or to some other button using the "mousemode" command. See:
https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/mousemodes.html https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/ui.html#mousemode
Also when you use that mouse mode, ChimeraX shows the corresponding "volume" command in the Log with "region" details in case you need that for some other command like "save" https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#map
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
