Isosurface: Colored

Add an isosurface: a surface through a field connecting all points with same value (the isovalue). The isosurface will be colored by a second field.

For example, an isosurface showing the SCF density of your molecule, colored by the electrostatic potential.

The control bar has the following controls from left to right:

Show/Hide checkbox (default checked: the isosurface is visible).

Wireframe checkbox: if checked, show wireframe instead of solid surface.

'Isosurface: Colored' pull-down menu: Copy To All Geometries command will create a similar surface for all open files (different geoemtries), Delete command to delete the surface, Show details will add two additional control bars with more controls, and Hide details will remove the additional bars.

Field pull-down menu: use it to select what field to make an isosurface from.

The isovalue defining the isosurface.

Field pull-down menu: use it to select what field to color the surface with.

Two numbers: the range of the color field used for mapping colors.

Log checkbox: use a logarithmic color scale.

Bar checkbox: show a color bar as legend for the color field.

The first details bar contains the same controls as for a normal Isosurface.

The second details bar contains the controls defining the mapping of the color field to a color. The color is specified using the HSV color space.

The hue is what is normally thought of as color. Saturation is the amount of gray, white, or black that is mixed into the color. Zero saturation indicates no hue, just gray scale. The value component of the HSV space is a measure of its brightness. The HSV color space is normalized.

Color Scale pull-down menu: four different presets of coloring settings (color scale, gray scale, white or black). The last entry 'Store As Default' will store your current color settings as defaut.

Hue (two numbers): the lower end of the color field maps to the first hue value, the upper end maps to the second hue value, and the other values are generated linearly (or logarithmically) in between.

Saturation (two numbers): the lower end of the color field maps to the first saturation value, the upper end maps to the second saturation value, and the other values are generated linearly (or logarithmically) in between.

Value (two numbers): the lower end of the color field maps to the first intensity value, the upper end maps to the second intensity value, and the other values are generated linearly (or logarithmically) in between.
