Dear all, We announce the IUCr Computing School in Nove Hrady (Czech Republic) which will take place between 17th and 22nd August 2020 prior to the IUCr Congress in Prague. Registration has already started. Further information about the school can be found on the website: https://www.xray.cz/iucr/workshops/nh/default.htm. Follow also our hashtag on Twitter, #IUCr2020CompSchool. Active developers of crystallographic software, tools and methods are invited to participate at this Computing School. The school is not introductory and it is recommended that participants already have some basic programming skills and crystallographic knowledge. Our aim is to discuss and exchange ideas and to tackle the challenges related to the method development in crystallography. Participants can be early-career scientists (PhD students, Postdocs, etc.) as well as established developers. Our confirmed speakers are: - Simon Billinge (Columbia University, USA) - Luc Bourhis (Bruker, France) - Paul Boyle (Western University, London, Ontario, Canada) - Iracema Caballero (Institut de Biologia Molecular de Barcelona, Spain) - Gemma de la Flor (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) - Dorothee Liebschner (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA) - Rafiga Masmaliyeva (Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Azerbaijan) - Garib Murshudov (Laboratory of Molecular Biology-MRC, UK) - Reinhard Neder (Institute of Condensed Matter Physics, Erlangen, Germany) - Alexandre Ourjoumtsev (Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, France) - Randy Read (University of Cambridge, UK) - Massimo Sammito (University of Cambridge, UK) - Arkadiy Simonov (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Switzerland) - Melanie Vollmar (Diamond Light Source Ltd, Harwell Science & Innovation Campus, United Kingdom) - Thomas White (Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, Hamburg, Germany) For any questions regarding the school please contact us. Best wishes, Claudia Millán (cmncri at ibmb.csic.es) Martin Lutz (m.lutz at uu.nl) Jan Rohlicek (rohlicek at fzu.cz) PD. Please find attached a poster about the school that you can forward, together with this email, to people potentially interested in participating in the Computing School.

map grid sizes
by GEORGE N PHILLIPS 20 Feb '20

I am confused about grid sizes of maps. When i specify a grid size for an fft_map but then pull the numpy array out for direct manimpulation, it's always 2 larger in the last dimension. Why is it not the same size? Any help appreciated. George y# Now make initial (smoothed) map using random phases with Fobs f_obs_B = f_obs1.apply_debye_waller_factors( b_iso=biso_init) phases = f_obs_B.random_phases_compatible_with_phase_restrictions(deg=False) phases_data = phases.data() e_map_coeff = f_obs_B.phase_transfer(phase_source = phases_data) e_map = e_map_coeff.fft_map(crystal_gridding = crystal_gridding, symmetry_flags = maptbx.use_space_group_symmetry) print("cgridding", crystal_gridding.n_real()) # pick initial envelope e_map_array = e_map.real_map().as_numpy_array() print("e_map", e_map_array.shape) cgridding (90, 90, 80) e_map (90, 90, 82) George N.

a little help for newbie?

I am starting to write some python code using cctbx, but am missing how to use the C++ bindings. I am fine unless a try to access them. Something about my environment or boost of something. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have import boost.python but am cleary missing some fundamental knowledge.
