Re: [Jmol-users] isosurface question

Hello Dan
That way can only be used with solid colors. You will need color mapping, something like MAP MEP or MAP property.
I cannot give exact details, but see this:

Asunto: [Jmol-users] isosurface question

Hello,
I have looked at the wikis and let AI chew on this for me, to no avail.
I want to display a simple sucrose molecule (got that) and show its hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties.
I used the command

isoSurface solvent

to generate the isosurface.  All good.  I can use the command

color isoSurface red (or another defined color)

to give it color.

The instructions I have found say that the following command should color the surface according to hydrophobicity

color isoSurface hydrophobicity

but jmol gives the error

script ERROR: bad argument count

Can someone point me in the right direction?  Many thanks!
