Code : cube
Marvin imports and exports Gaussian Cube molecule files that have the following format:
comment line (always written, ignored at import)
comment line (always written, ignored at import)
N vx vy vz number of atoms,
followed by the position of the origin
of the volumetric data (the latter is not read in case of import option 'M',
in which case it is set to 0 0 0 at export)
M1 vx1 vy1 vz1 number of voxels along the first axis,
followed by the first axis vector
(if volumetric data is ignored at import then this is set to 1 1 0 0 at export)
M2 vx2 vy2 vz2 number of voxels along the second axis,
followed by the second axis vector
(if volumetric data is ignored at import then this is set to 1 0 1 0 at export))
M3 vx3 vy3 vz3 number of voxels along the third axis,
followed by the third axis vector
(if volumetric data is ignored at import then this is set to 1 0 0 1 at export))
atom1 x y z
atom2 x y z
...
atomN x y z
volumetric data lines (if volumetric data is ignored at import then this is set to a single 0 at export)Bonds are not stored.
As a consequence, all the Hydrogens must be explicit, otherwise the bond types can not be guessed reliably by the importing program.
Charges are not stored.
Query properties and other extra features are not stored.
Volumetric data is skipped if import option 'M' is specified:
if volumetric data is read at import then data is stored and saved upon export but it is not processed by Marvin
if volumetric data is ignored at import then the corresponding fields are filled with defaults (a single voxel with zero volumetric value).
The default behavior is to use the "any" bond type for all bonds, 0 charge for each atom, no implicit hydrogens.
