Section 25.2.1.12.3. Off-line contouring

While MAPVIEW is extremely useful, there are times when it is desirable to have individual plots available either for comparison, stereo viewing of electron density, or incorporation into documents. The program CTOUR (batch) handles these functions and accepts an input FSFOUR map or submap. The CTOUR program can create any number of plot files in a single run, with each consisting of either an individual section, a mono projection, or a stereo projection, with each projection over different multiple sections. If full-cell FSFOUR maps are input, any desired region may be selected, whereas if submaps (including skewed maps) are input, the accessible regions are limited by those present in the input map.
