==Coloring by Temperature==

Visualizing relative disorder or uncertainty in atomic positions is done by ''coloring by temperature value''. Atoms with <font color='blue'>'''low temperature values are colored blue'''</font>, while atoms with <font color='red'>'''high temperature values are colored red'''</font>. Light blue, white, and pink atoms represent the scale of intermediate temperature values. The temperature values themselves are relative, not absolute, and hence the colors are also relative. The most important information from coloring by temperature is to identify the ''red'' residues whose positions are least certain. Their positions should be taken only as rough approximations, and this is especially worth knowing if any residues in areas of special interest are red.
