volume viewer GUI

[hainm]

• Support color by volume.

[jbarnoud]

Until such gui is implemented, is there a way to set the value to use for the isovolume?

[hainm]

hi, in which context? (update_surface?)

[hainm]

@arose

[jbarnoud]

I calculated a 3D density grid. I can display that grid as an isosurface around my molecule of interest, but I would like to choose what density value to use to draw the isosurface.

[arose]

Are you loading it with view.add_component('my.ccp4')?

@hainm after loading such a component, how can you add representations to it?

[hainm]

view.add_surface(..., component=0) # or 1, 2,

# or
view.component_0.add_surface(...)

[arose]

so view.component_0.add_surface(threshold=1.0) should work, I think

[hainm]

also update current surface repr.

view.component_0.update_surface(threshold=1.0)

[jbarnoud]

It works, indeed. Thanks.

Is there a mailing list somewhere to ask questions without polluting the bug tracker?

Is there a mailing list somewhere to ask questions without polluting the bug tracker?

we don't mind about this. I myself prefer to use github issue here.
Just create a topic for posting random + usage questions: #589

[arose]

The amount of questions is not that high, so just having them as separate issues marked as question if fine with me

[hainm]

go back to the original issue: demo from @arose

Hi @hainm, Hi @arose !
I wonder if it is possible to color a structure (cartoon, surface and other atomic representations) by volume data (loaded with ccp4 or dx).
I see that there is a volumeColormaker but I don't get how to use it. I guess that volume is loaded as a separate component, so can it be done?

[hainm]

@arose Can you please provide a code spinet for this so I could introduce to nglview? thanks.

[hainm]

hi @satary,

It turns out that nglview has not supported that feature yet. But fortunately, you can use the workaround (taken from: https://github.com/arose/ngl/blob/master/examples/scripts/color/volume.js)

Notebook: volume_color.ipynb.txt

[satary]

Hi @hainm!
Thanks for the suggestion, I will try to use it and report!

[satary]

Hi @hainm, am I missing something, or method _execute_js_code() is not in the current release?
OK, my bad, solved that one.
BTW, for jupyterlab users you have to jupyter-labextension install nglview-js-widgets both in environment jupyterlab is started in and in the environment, where they use nglview, why so?
Your example does not work, for some reason, I have just an empty widget.

Hm, I guess I found an error, but I have no Idea how to solve it, I can not add any component as file is not found for some reason

edit.
Now I found out that it is jupyterlab specific issue. as it works in a plain notebook =( that's sad (

[hainm]

I think it is in 1.1.9 Hai

@hainm It looks like nothing happens on _execute_js_code(), is there any simple way to know if it works?

[hainm]

Have you tried my attached notebook above yet? It works for me. I will post another example soon, not at my computer right now. Hai

[satary]

Yeap, I've tried it. No color change for me =(

[hainm]

Uhm I just saw your editted comment (it would be better if you can post a new post so I can get notification): can you summarize again what doesn’t work and in which environment? Just try with notebook first. Jupyterlab is not that stable (in my opinion). To make sure the _execute_js_code work, just try a simple JavaScript code code = “”” console.log(‘hello’) “”” Call the method and open the JavaScript console to see the ‘hello’ word. (Right click -> Inspection (or similar))

Thanks for the reply!
In jupyter notebook (run from jupyter hub) I tested your code snippet and nothing seems to be in the console output. But! There is an info message widget_ngl.js:1010 can not create func for execute_code

[satary]

As for the jupyterlab support there is a bug, I believe as it can not load any files with add_component method.

[satary]

Update, I've managed to get Hello in the console, It was due to some mismatch in js extension and python extension. Gosh, it is a bit messy.
Now I can color the surface! Will attach my example later!
Thank you!

[satary]

To recap for the Google bots:
My task was to color molecular surface according to electostatic potential map (calculated by APBS) loaded from .dx file.
Here is a code snippet for that.

view=nv.show_structure_file('1KX5.pdb')
view.add_component('resources/pot.dx')
view

code = """
var ms = this.stage.compList[0];
var potential = this.stage.compList[1];

ms.addRepresentation('surface', {
    colorVolume: potential.volume,
    colorScheme: 'volume',
    colorScale: 'rwb',
    colorReverse: false,
    colorDomain: [ 0, 1500 ]
})

"""
view.component_1.clear_representations()
view.component_0.clear_representations()
view._execute_js_code(code)

[hainm]

great. Thanks.

I wonder if it is possible to color a structure (cartoon, surface and other atomic representations) by volume data (loaded with ccp4 or dx).

hi @satary, this feature is added in #804

[satary]

Hello @hainm !
Great news and thank you a lot!
