However, unlike the horned coot, the nest of the giant coot is primarily made of aquatic vegetation and – as it is fiercely territorial – it never forms colonies. Giant coot The giant coot ("Fulica gigantea") is a species of coot from South America. It is found at lakes in the altiplano from central Peru, through western Bolivia, to north-eastern Chile and extreme north-western Argentina. With a total length of 48–64 cm (19–25 in), it is the second largest extant member of the
Coot (software) which provides access from both the Python and Guile scripting languages. The CCP4mg molecular graphics software from Collaborative Computational Project Number 4 is a related project with which Coot shares some code. The projects are focused on slightly different problems, with CCP4mg dealing with presentation graphics and movies, whereas Coot deals with model building and validation. The software has gained considerable popularity over the past 5 years, overtaking widely used packages such as 'O', XtalView, and Turbo Frodo. The primary publication has been cited in over 10,000 independent scientific papers since 2004. Coot (software) The program Coot (Crystallographic Object-Oriented Toolkit)
