pdb2density.py

## \example em/pdb2density.py
## A simple example showing how to simulate density from a protein.
## IMP uses a Gaussian smoothing kernel. see SampledDensityMap::resample for documentation.

#read protein

#add radius info to each atom, otherwise the resampling would fail.

#decide on resolution and spacing you would like to simulate to
resolution=10.

#write out the map in the favorite format (xplor, mrc, em and spider are supported)
