Read compressed PDB files -question, suggestion
We store the PDB locally, but compressed. Can one persuade chimera to read coordinates from a pipe ? Maybe this could be done at the python level. It might also not be too hard to use the python binding to the zlib library, but I would not know how to do this. I imagine the interest (or not) would not be limited to reading PDB files. many thanks for any suggestions. -- Search for products and services at: http://search.mail.com
Hi Moo Cow, You can use the Chimera File / Open... dialog to directly open a gzip PDB file. This was added to Chimera about one year ago. It does not work for all types of files, for instance, compressed volume data is not automatically uncompressed. Tom
You can also open gzipped files with Chimera's "open" command or as an argument as you start Chimera. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab pett@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Dec 8, 2006, at 8:26 AM, Thomas Goddard wrote:
