density map and so on about nglview HOT 5 CLOSED

There is support for map, ccp4, dx, bindx and cube volume files in NGL but adding them via the nglview widget is not implemented.

@arose what's the difficulty of adding that to notebook? (if not that difficult, I can spend time on learning to port to nb).

My lab is interested in crystall simulation so it would be helpful to see it in notebook.

Adding the file to the viewer with stage.loadFile is straightforward. I see two obstacles. 1) Getting the binary data to the Browser. 2) Keeping track of what files are loaded into the viewer.

1. You could to a base64 encoding in Python to get a text representation, send it over and decode it in the Browser.
2. Related to #29. If we limit it to a single density a similar approach to the single structure that we currently allow to load can be done.

given the popularity of Coot

I highly recommend to add this feature to notebook. :D

so now I know

• how to loadFile via view._remote_call
• how to control each component in compList

made progress. :D

Now I know how to do it.
