[chimerax-users] Extract TIFF images from a density map

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Andrea,

  ChimeraX does not have a command to write map data in TIFF format.  But I could add that ability today.  Do you want each plane of a map written to a separate TIFF file, or all planes written to one file, or do you just want to show one specific plane and write it out as TIFF?  You know the TIFF format doesn't have the pixel size for your map unless it is written in using some specific extra info for example using an ImageJ TIFF header or OME TIFF header.  What software do you intend to use these TIFF images in?
