Hello, is there any prospect of a custom (per atom or per residue) coloring mode at some point?
I would envision this as similar to color by b-factor, but for arbitrary data, and not requiring values to be encoded in the pdb file. This would be very useful while building and would enable users to design custom coloring schemes using other coot scripting functions - e.g. I would love to have color by rotamer probability, color by missing atoms, color by ramachandran, or color by clashscore available on a molecule while I am working on it, so I can easily zero in on problem regions.
Just having an additional "scratch" or "custom" model_molecule_representation_mode, where everything has been colored yellow or gray unless it has been explicitly altered by a function taking an atom or residue spec and color wheel value or color code as arguments would be sufficient to do useful things I think.
I can do this now by making a copy of the molecule, altering the B-factors and coloring by B-factor, but that is a rather kludgy way to do things and can lead to confusion - it would be much better to be able to alter the representation natively.
Cheers,
Oli.
