Based on this posting, I deduce that Chimera's Movie capability cannot yet display netCDF trajectories: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2004-June/000171.html
MMTK generates netCDF trajectories. Can you recommend any already-built tools for converting them to multi-model PDBs? Or, perhaps you can direct me to the parts of Chimera where I could help add netCDF trajectory support?
Your deduction is correct. DCD support is in there but not netCDF. Given MMTK's fairly clean layout of its trajectory info, I think it would be faster for me to add the support than guiding you in adding it. Just FYI, it's not reasonably straightforward to add a new format and outside people have done it, but in this particular case I should just do it (unless you anticipate wanting yet more formats, in which case I _should_ show you how). What I would definitely need is an example trajectory or two. Can you provide such?
Tom, attached is a simple .nc trajectory generated from this example code provided on the MMTK Web site: http://starship.python.net/crew/hinsen/MMTK/Manual/Examples/Trajectories/sna... You can regenerate this yourself by installing MMTK and running the python on that page. Here's where to get MMTK: http://starship.python.net/crew/hinsen/MMTK/download.html Other examples are listed here: http://starship.python.net/crew/hinsen/MMTK/examples.html Thanks! Let me know what else I can do to help. Yours, John
