DESCRIPTION:


    Showbox is an interactive program that allows visualization of the location and size of the grids that will be calculated by the program grid , using any graphics program that can display PDB format. The user is asked whether the box should be automatically constructed to enclose all of the spheres in a cluster. If so, the user must also enter a value for how closely the box faces may approach a sphere center (how large a cushion of space is desired) and the sphere cluster filename and number. If not, the user is asked whether the box will be centered on manually entered coordinates or a sphere cluster center of mass. Depending on the response, the coordinates of the center or the sphere cluster filename and number are requested. Finally, the user must enter the desired box dimensions (if not automatic) and a name for the output PDB-format box file. If the input parameters are known, they can be listed in an input file and piped into the program.

Showbox is an interactive program that allows visualization of the location and size of the grids that will be calculated by the program grid , using any graphics program that can display PDB format. The user is asked whether the box should be automatically constructed to enclose all of the spheres in a cluster. If so, the user must also enter a value for how closely the box faces may approach a sphere center (how large a cushion of space is desired) and the sphere cluster filename and number. If not, the user is asked whether the box will be centered on manually entered coordinates or a sphere cluster center of mass.
