[chimerax-users] 答复: calculate volume of voxels

Thanks for the help Dr. Elaine,

Is there any way I can figure out the coordinates of each voxel?

I know from mdanalysis, if one knows the voxel size (delta) and delta of one voxel cell, the voxel center coordinates can be calculated. Can I do the same way in ChimeraX?

Best,
Tianming

Yes, that is the volume inside the surface, my second suggestion.  It depends on the contour level of the surface, of course.
