Dear All,

does anyone know how to plot 2D contour map from available 3D grid data
with VMD? Is it possible at all? I have a Gaussian cube file, with charge
density distribution, which might be plotted using isosurface
representation in VMD. But how to get plotted isosurfaces on 2D plane
at some interval within some range of isovalues? It seems that VolumeSlice
representation does about what I need, but it does not allow to choose
isovalues range and interval.

Another one thing. If, say, I have a file with 2D data, having format
like: on each line x and y coordinates and corresponding charge density "x
y f(x,y)". Can it be plotted with VMD?

Thanks a lot in advance for you reply,

Ivan Degtyarenko
