density.read() -- read an EM (electron microscopy) density map file

file = <str:1> 'default' input electron density map file
em_density_format = <str:1> 'XPLOR' input density map file format for EM_GRID_SEARCH; 'MRC' | 'XPLOR'
em_map_size = <int:1> 0 size of the density map, for EM_GRID_SEARCH

Description:
This command reads a density map from file, which should be provided as a cubic grid of intensities, in the X-PLOR format [Brünger, 1992]. The size of the cubic grid is given by em_map_size.

Example: See density.grid_search() command.
