MAPS_EDIT together with the MAPS_IMAGE blocks enable you to interactively create and modify electron density maps under visual control. (MAP_ACT? items of both blocks are identical
Essential oparations as map creations (MAP_NEW) to initial values (MAP_CLEA, MAP_MASK) can be performed.
Map values can be set directly (MAP_SET?), copied from another map (MAP_COPY) scaled (MAP_SC.?) or rescaled (MAP_RESC).
Two maps can be merged (MAP_MR.?) and added (MAP_ADD) together. Cavities within masks can be filled (MAP_FIL?) and a unit cell density can be generated (MAP_CELL).
Some previous knowledge of the MAKE MAP command syntax is recommended.

The '>MAIN_CMDS:make_map_around.cmds' file has the following syntax:
> inquire ato_grid "GRIDS AROUND ATOM BOX:" > make map map_to from map_from init map_val number - > around ato_grid select active end > return
> menu block MAPS_EDIT item MAP_CLEA add text - > "set variable map_val = -9999"
> menu block MAPS_EDIT item MAP_MASK add text - > "set variable map_val = 9999"
> menu block MAPS_EDIT item MAP_SET? add text "<MAIN_CMDS:make_map_set.cmds"
> menu block MAPS_EDIT item MAP_COPY add text - > "make map map_to from map_from copy"
> menu block MAPS_EDIT item MAP_SC.? add text "<MAIN_CMDS:make_map_scale.cmds"
> menu block MAPS_EDIT item MAP_RESC add text - > "make map map_to from map_from rescale"
