History
These were the first “topographical” map representation of a viruse surface as if it were a “terrain” landscape on an exoplanet!
The topographical maps were created in the early 1990’s from Vsurf data on a Macintosh IIci with “Delta Graph 1.5” charting software that provided a better range of colors and 3D plotting capability compared to other software at the time.
However, the 3D angles of view were limited and to obtain this view the Vsurf data had to be “mirror imaged” and the resulting image was “mirror imaged” back.
Images were then edited to add text within Apple’s Claris MacDrawPro or Deneba’s Canvas 3.03.
BELOW is the original text minimally edited:
Topographical Maps
Topographical maps represent one “face” of the 60 faces of the icosahedron. The symmetryaxes would allow to reconstruct a complete icosahedral viral particle from one face.
The topography is illustrated by coloring surface regions as a function of the distance to the center of the virus. That distance can be the radius (distance to the center) or a “Z” value (distance to a plane parallel to the icosahedral face).
The surface matrix is calculated with Vsurf (Rossmann and Palmenberg (1988) and rendered into Deltagraph on a Macintosh.
