.dx files too large for 3Dmol.js

[akampen]

Hi devs,

I'd like to display the results of APBS in my webapp that uses 3Dmol.js, but I'm finding that the 100+ MB .dx output file is too large to reasonably be used in this way. I'm running APBS on small molecules, so I don't think it's an issue of molecule size. This APBS paper suggests compatibility with 3Dmol.js, but doesn't go into details. Anyone have tips on pairing 3Dmol.js with this tool? Or more generally, is there a way to configure the output so that it isn't quite so large?

Thanks in advance!

You should be able to use a combination of dime and fglen to control the size of the output.

You can also see some examples of our APBS web server code at https://github.com/Electrostatics/apbs-web/.

Thank you
