Hi Paul,
Prompted by Randy Read, Kevin and I have agreed that Coot should be able to auto-open MTZ files with columns labelled
groupname.F_phi.F and groupname.F_phi.phi
and
groupname.DF_phi.DF, groupname.DF_phi.phi for difference maps
for any value of groupname, of course.
(Any weights should be applied to Fs before writing the file).
We were wondering what the Phenix community/developers thought about that idea (there's not much point in adding this feature if you don't agree).
I would be great to have this feature, but I'm not familiar with the groupname.DF_phi.DF syntax. Our mtz tools work via "make a new crytal", "make a new dataset", "make a new column", "add data to the column". Can this be mapped to your dotted syntax? Do you have an example mtz file that I could follow? Ralf
