Editing LiteMol:Hierarchy (section)

=Raw Data=

This section contains entities that store data from a file, no matter what these data represent and how they are encoded (i.e. original data from a file before they are parsed). The user will encounter them mostly when loading files from a disk or a URL.

==String Data (S<sub>D</sub>)==
This entity represents data loaded from a file in textual format (e.g. mmCIF file or PDB file). 

Applicable actions:
* '''Molecule''' – Treats the data as a representation of a molecular structure and creates a [[LiteMol:Hierarchy#Molecule (M) | Molecule]] entity. Make sure to select the appropriate format.
* '''Density Data''' – Treats the data as an electron density map and creates a [[LiteMol:Hierarchy#Density Data (DD) | Density Data]] entity.
* '''CIF Dictionary''' – Treats the data as a CIF dictionary and creates a [[LiteMol:Hierarchy#CIF Dictionary (CD) | CIF Dictionary]] entity. CIF dictionary itself can contain various kinds of data, including molecular structures or density maps.


==Binary Data (B<sub>D</sub>)==
This entity represents data loaded from a binary file (not human-readable, e.g. [https://github.com/dsehnal/BinaryCIF BinaryCIF] file or CCP4 density file). '''Binary Data''' provides exactly the same actions as [[LiteMol:Hierarchy#String Data (SD) | String Data]].

==CIF Dictionary (CD)==
This entity represents data encoded in a CIF dictionary, which is a flexible format for various kinds of data, so it can contain molecular structures or density maps. A single CIF dictionary can even contain multiple objects (e.g. two density maps: 2Fo-Fc and Fo-Fc).

Applicable actions:
* '''Molecule''' – Treats the data in the '''CIF dictionary''' as a representation of a molecular structure and creates a [[LiteMol:Hierarchy#Molecule (M) | Molecule]] entity. As the dictionary may contain multiple objects, one of them must be selected explicitly (parameter '''Source''').
* '''Density Data''' – Treats the data in the '''CIF dictionary''' as an electron density map and creates a [[LiteMol:Hierarchy#Density Data (DD) | Density Data]] entity. As the dictionary may contain multiple objects, one of them must be selected explicitly (parameter '''Source''').
