charge

   charge {format} {path}

This command allows APBS to read the fixed (molecular) charge density function mapped to a mesh. The inputs are maps of charge densities; these values have units of ec Å-2, where ec is the electron charge. In general, this command will read charge-maps written by write commands in earlier APBS calculations. Arguments for this command are:

format
The format of the charge map. Acceptable values include:
dx
OpenDX format
gz
gzipped (zlib) compressed OpenDX format. Files can be read directly in compressed form.
path
The location of the charge map file.
