Using CELLmicrocosmos CellExplorer it is possible to load the examples for a plant and an animal cell as well as all other files with the compatible format. The generated tours can also be saved in combination with the other cell information.
Cell compositions are saved in .Cm3 format. This format saves an XML file and packages it with all corresponding .wrl files inside a folder. To exchange a complete cell composition, the whole folder with all .Cm3 and .wrl files has to be copied.
Cell compositions and tours are saved in .Cm4 format. The tour is saved inside the .Cm4 file. In addition, this file contains information relevant for the PathwayIntegration explained in another part of this manual.
The .Cm3 or .Cm4 file is selected via the menu. For this purpose, the
menu "File" is chosen by left mouse click and the item
"Load File" a menu is opened and the desired file is chosen
via double click.
An alternative and even faster way to
open files is to click on the buttons of the tool bar - below the
menu - showing the plant and the animal cell. But for all other files
- for example those containing a tour - the previously described way
via the menu has to be chosen.
The saving process works analogous to the loading process. Again, the menu "File" has to be chosen, and then the item "Save as Cm3/Cm4" has to be left clicked. Here, the location and the name of the .Cm3/.Cm4 file is chosen. Please keep in mind that a .Cm3 project contains only the cell composition, tour information and PathwayIntegration data is omitted.
