  • Changed volume solid style transparency modulation from t -> t ** (1.0/planes) to t -> t ** (1.0/(planes*t)). Here planes = minimum number of planes along each axis times the transparency factor and the initial transparency t is the height of the transfer function on the histogram (0-1 range). For transparent voxels the change is minor. For opaque voxels it makes the effective thickness smaller and avoids a large brightness jump between opacity 0.99 and 1.0. TG

January 30, 2008. Version 1.2486.

  • Added ability to create surfaces from stacks of loops and curves with the volume path tracer tool. Uses the new Surface panel of the volume path tracer dialog. TG

  • Renamed "volume path tracer" to "volume tracer". TG

  • Reordered volume tools menu to put more frequently useful tools near the top and group them by functionality. TG

  • Added split map button to color zone dialog and eliminated separate volume tools menu entry for split map. TG

  • Changed molmap ratio of resolution to Gaussian standard deviation to be 1/(pi*sqrt(2)) (~0.225) from former value of 1/(2*sqrt(pi)) (~0.282). TG

  • Made split map by color zone give proper alignment when map coordinates involve a rotation.

January 29, 2008. Version 1.2485.

  • Added keyboard shortcut "or" to toggle orthographic projection. TG

January 25, 2008. Version 1.2485.

  • Added ability to export surfaces in Wavefront OBJ format using File / Export Scene. TG

  • Optimized "split map by color zone" to use less memory. Operates plane by plane for maps larger than 16 Mvoxels. TG

  • Added mouse mode to resize a selected surface by dragging. Enabled for one drag use by keyboard shortcut sz. TG

  • Added keyboard shortcut "ao" to activate only selected surfaces. TG

  • Added keyboard shortcut "oc" to allow typing one command and then automatically return to entering keyboard shortcuts. TG

  • Allowed resizing volume path tracer markers by dragging the mouse while holding the Alt key down if the move/resize mode is enabled. TG

January 24, 2008. Version 1.2485.

  • Added "resample" operation to vop command to resample one volume data set on the grid of a second volume data set. TG

January 23, 2008. Version 1.2485.

  • Fixed incorrect rainbow colormap direction for volumes with rotated local coordinates. TG

  • Made "measure and color blobs" dialog and mask command ignore outline boxes around volume data. TG

  • Added "shape" command that makes surfaces having standard geometric shapes. Handles cylinder, sphere, and icosahedron. Includes icosahedral mesh capabilities of hkcage command. Includes interpolating icosahedron with sphere and alternate coordinates systems as in the Icosahedron surface dialog. TG

  • Changed vm keyboard shortcut to mask active volume using selected surfaces. Formerly it masked volume using volume contour surface. TG

January 22, 2008. Version 1.2485.

  • Made volume contour surfaces have correct lighting when the voxel size along an axis is made negative to flip the hand of the map. Formerly two sided lighting gave dark surface in this case. TG

  • Made image stack volume reader handle multi-page tiff images. TG

  • Fixed surface capping bug when new surface created while capping is enabled. TG

January 18, 2008. Version 1.2485.

  • Added molmap command to make volume from a molecule by summing Gaussians at each atom position. TG

January 16, 2008. Version 1.2483.

  • Made opening tiff image stacks work by selecting all images in the open dialog. Formerly only one image was selected and others that had the same prefix and different numeric suffix were inferred. TG

  • Made image stack reader handle image types other than TIFF. Can handle any image format understood by the Python image library (e.g. png, jpeg). TG

January 15, 2008. Version 1.2483.

  • Fixed chimera "--send" startup option on mac. Was always starting a new instance of chimera. TG

January 11, 2008. Version 1.2483.

  • Removed marker set models closed with the file menu entry in the volume path tracer dialog. Formerly the models were just emptied of markers. TG

  • Changed mask command sandwich option default value to true. TG

  • Changed mask command fullmap option to require a true/false value. Formerly the option took no value. TG

January 10, 2008. Version 1.2483.

  • Made default projection axis for mask command y instead of z. TG

  • Renamed "pick surface pieces" dialog and menu entry to the more descriptive "measure and color blobs". TG

  • Added slab option to mask command to mask using a slab of specified thickness created by thickening a surface. TG

January 9, 2008. Version 1.2483.

  • Added selection inspector attributes for surface pieces: surface piece count, line thickness, line smoothing, lighting, two sided lighting, lighting normal direction, transparency brightness. TG

  • Made selection inspector attributes for surface models and pieces update when changed using other dialogs or commands. TG

January 8, 2008. Version 1.2481.

  • Added attributes to selection inspector dialog for surfaces and surface pieces. Attributes: color, display style (mesh/solid), displayed, triangle count, active, selectable with mouse. TG

  • Made selected surfaces show green outline even when "selectable with mouse" is turned off. TG

  • Made keyboard shortcuts work on surfaces selected with select command. The select command selects the surface model but not the surface components. TG

January 7, 2008. Version 1.2481.

  • Made surfnet tool create a surface model instead of a vrml model. Allows measuring enclosed volume, coloring, splitting disjoint components, .... TG

  • Eliminated _cubes contour calculation module. TG

January 2, 2008. Version 1.2481.

  • Added fill value option to vop command. Large negative fill values can produce flat cut faces when erasing an octant. TG

December 21, 2007. Version 1.2480.

  • Made help command show documentation for commands volume, topo, sym, bondzone, split, msc, meshmol, mask, hkcage, crystalcontacts. TG

  • Added vop (volume operation command) to erase an octant. Plan to support many other volume modifying operations (gaussian filter, erase outside sphere, interpolate, ...) as options to this command in the future. TG

  • Changed volume suffixes from
