Hello Elaine, thanks a lot for prompt and useful advice ! Best wishes, Marek Dne Wed, 15 Jun 2011 19:08:38 +0200 Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> napsal/-a:
Hello Marek, It may be possible using per-frame scripting in MD Movie (in that tool's menu: Per-Frame... Define script). I've definitely shown frame number as a label for a trajectory, details below.
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/movie.html#per-frame>
The process would be something like: - figure out equation to convert frame number to time - per-frame script would use that equation and show result as a 2D label - record movie while the per-frame script is active
I think it would be necessary to do it in Python, to include the equation part, but the script dialog provides a way to use frame number in the script. The only part I am concerned about is whether the equation output (simulation time) has to be converted to a character string to be used as label contents.
I have definitely used this process to simply show the frame number as a label during the trajectory. That is done with a per-frame script of Chimera commands in the "Trajectory and Ensemble Analysis" tutorial, part 1: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/ensembles2.html>
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hello all, Is it possible to create Chimera movie (MD trajectory animation) with simulation time labeled on the corner ? (Of course after I provide through some appropriate dialogue the time interval between two consequent frames). Thanks in advance for any hint ! Best wishes, Marek
