I'm afraid I missed the original message, but this sound interesting.
Can anyone explain what a DX file is?


This was a request of mine - Here's the original message:

Hi Bob,

I'd like to color a surface in Jmol by MEP data that were generated using PyMol with a plugin. I just learned that the PyMol plugin generates a data file for the MEP that is in a .dx format. The part of .dx that is used for this purpose is described here:
http://apbs.sourceforge.net/doc/user-guide/index.html#opendx-format


Bottom line is that we can now take molecular electrostatic potential data that were generated in PyMol (requires the APBS plugin for PyMOL) and use them to color a surface generated in Jmol. Pretty neat, huh!

Here's how to find the .dx file PyMOL creates, according to Michael Lerner, the author of the APBS plugin for PyMOL:
