# Job: 3D Variability Display

## **Description**

Create various versions of a 3D variability result that can be used for display. Read a tutorial [here](/processing-data/tutorials-and-case-studies/tutorial-3d-variability-analysis-part-one.md).

## **Input**

* Particles (from 3D Variability Analysis)
* Volume (from 3D Variability Analysis)

## **Common Parameters**

* Output mode**:**
  * **simple mode**: output a simple linear "movie" of volumes along each dimension. Number of frames is the next param.
  * **cluster mode**: fit clusters to reaction coordinates and output volumes and particles from each cluster. Number of clusters is the next param.
  * **intermediates mode:** reconstruct multiple intermediate volumes along each variability dimension, useful for better visualizing non-linear changes. Number of intermediate frames is the next param.
* Intermediates: window (frames):
  * Size of rolling window in each bin (in number of frames). Set to a positive integer to define a triangular weighting function for each volume. Set to 0 for a tophat weighting function. Set to -1 to create bins with equal number of particles.

## **Output**

* Volume series of each variability component
* \[Optionally] particles for each cluster or intermediate frame
* \[Optionally] volume for each cluster or intermediate frame

## **Common Next Steps**

* Visualization of results through UCSF Chimera or similar.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.cryosparc.com/processing-data/all-job-types-in-cryosparc/variability/job-3d-variability-display.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
