Can I add scatterplots for groups which are not included in the standard IsoStar library?

Solution

Yes. IsoGen is the program that was used to calculate the scatterplots in the IsoStar database and it is available to users so that they can calculate their own customised scatterplots. Plots calculated with IsoGen can be viewed and manipulated with the IsoStar control window in the usual way. However, two restrictions should be noted.

  • IsoGen can only be used to calculate scatterplots from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), not from the Protein Data Bank (PDB).
  • The external scaling method of contouring density surfaces is unavailable for user-generated scatterplots.

For further information please refer to the IsoStar user guide which includes IsoGen information.​
