The 3D map manager
This
tool is designed to store loaded 3D scalar fields (maps in XPLOR or
CUBE format). Its a tab widget, each tab corresponding to one map.
There is no limit to the number of loaded map. One map can be loaded
several times, they will be identified by unique Id's such as
map.xplor_0, map.xplor_1 etc...

The
currently active map is the one corresponding to the currently visible
tab. Each map can be drawn using two separate isosurfaces (for
instance, for one positive and one negative contour). Each isolevel can
be configured by changing the iso-value, the surface color, the surface
transparency level or the aspect (filled or in wire mode). To be
displayed, a given isosurface must have the "show" check box checked.
The
first isosurface has a supplementary option, the "color surface
according to" list box, which will contain all the other currently
loaded map. On the above picture, "None" is selected meaning that the
blue (here) color will be used to color the surface. If another map is
selected in this combo box, then the currently active map will be
painted according to the values of the map selected in this list, and
its color can be configured using the 3D map color chart tool. The
below example shows a translucent total electron density map contoured
at 0.008 e/A3 and colored using the "elec_0" electrostatic potential
map values.
