Dear Chimera developers and users: I am using Chimera (production version 1.8 (build 38824) 2013-06-07 21:09:20 UTC). I wanted to process MD trajectories to extract their detailed H-bond information. To do so, I would like to process by script with Hbond.py file. $ chimera --script Hbond.py #---[Hbond.py] from chimera import runCommand # pr trajectory movie with open("metafile", 'w') as m: meta_input = """amber mypdb.prmtop pr_dry_netcdf.crd """ print >> m, meta_input # runCommand("open movie:metafile") runCommand("alias ^myhb hbond relax true savefile hbond.$1") runCommand("perframe myhb") runCommand("coordset #0 1,1000,10; wait 100") #----------------------- As I have many MD trajectories to be processed, I was looking for a commandline in lieu of actually clicking buttons in MD movie GUI to play. I thought that "coordset #0 1,10000,10; wait 100" may operate like automatically starting the MD movie to load frame 1 to 1000 at every 100 interval. But resulting saved H-bond files contain same information all about the first frame (because graphically displayed was the first frame without any update unless clicking the button in MD movie GUI). Is there a way to achieve an automatic play via commandline? Thank you, inhee park
