There is a nice OpenGL based MD-viewer called MDdisplay (that I think there are links to download on the AMBER website). This code was developed in the research group of Terry Lybrand at Vanderbilt and has the features that you are requsting. It is cross-platform running on WinX, MacOSX, Linux, and SGI (maybe Alpha too). To my knowledge, Chimera does not have a Ramachandran plot feature, however MDdisplay does. It reads AMBER and Charmm trajectory files. I have copied this email to the current author from the Lybrand group in case you have questions about obtaining and installing the software on your system.

Hi, I am interested in creating a ramachandran plot from an md trajectory. Particularly I would like to track the change in phi/psi angles over time for specific amino acids throughout the md in a fashion that is easily presentable. Is there a way to do this with Chimera? Or any way at all? Thanks a bunch.
