[gmx-developers] alternate version for reversed .ndx (not for use with current version of g_hbond)

   I noticed some controversy about the order of the data in the .ndx and
.xpm files:
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-developers/2006-August/001785.html

   I don't have an opinion about the order the data should be in.  (Although
I do think the documentation for g_hbond should be updated if it is left the
way it is.)  I don't know where things stand now.  If the gromacs developers
eventually decide to reverse the order of the DHA triplets in the .ndx file
(to make it the same order as the rows in the .xpm file), then here is an
alternate version of xpm2matrix that will work in that case.  Note: of
course, this version of xpm2matrix will not work on the existing versions of
g_hbond that I know of (for example, the version I have: 3.3.1 CVS).

--------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
# You may need to change this to /usr/local/bin/python

program_name = 'xpm2matrix'

# Name:
#    xpm2matrix
# Version:
#    v0.2,  2007-8-03
# Author:
#    Andrew Jewett, Shea Group, University of California at Santa Barbara
# License:
#    GNU LGPL and GPL (General Public Licence)
# Comments:
#    Be forgiving.  It's my first python program
#   (I think one of the reasons it is so slow is because the program has to
#    read in the entire .xpm file and transpose the data before it can
begin.
#    This seems to be where the program is slowing down.  However it could
also
#    be because I am using memory inefficienly (making temporary copies).
#    Regardless, for really long trajectories, or large systems,
#    the arrays inside the xpm files can be quite large.
#    I hope the authors of g_hbond will later provide an option to save
#    the xpm data with the x and y axis exchanged.
#    That way, I could just read in and process one line at a time.)
#
# Description below:

docs = 'syntax (example):\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ '   '+program_name+' hbond.ndx groups1.ndx groups2.ndx [DA,AD] < hbmap.xpm>
con.mat\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ 'Description:\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ '    This program reads .xpm files generated by \"g_hbond -hbm ...\",\n' \
+ ' and, for each frame in the trajectory, prints out a 2-dimensional
table\n' \
+ ' indicating which pairs of atoms (or residues, or groups of atoms)\n' \
+ ' are connected together (a connectivity matrix). This table may be
easier\n' \
+ ' to interpret than the original .xpm file.  As an input it requires a
pair\n' \
+ ' of files (\"groups1.ndx\" and \"groups2.ndx\" in this example) and each
file\n' \
+ ' contains a list of groups.  (Each group typically represents the
atoms\n' \
+ ' belonging to each amino acid or nucleotide in a molecule.)  Since
there\n' \
+ ' are two lists of groups, you can look at the connectivity matrix
between\n'\
+ ' two different molecules.  The the two lists of groups do not have to\n'
\
+ ' correspond to residues from different molecules.  They can be
identical.\n' \
+ '     The atoms in each group are not required to be donors or
acceptors\n'\
+ ' (other atoms will be ignored).  It is possible to tell
'+program_name+'\n'\
+ ' to only consider the donor atoms from one group, and the acceptor
atoms\n'\
+ ' from another group. (See \"DA\" / \"AD\" below).\n' \
+ '     Again, groups do not have to correspond to residues.  Of course,
there\n' \
+ ' can be multiple donors and acceptors in each group, and more than one
h-bond\n' \
+ ' connecting each pair of groups.  For example, one of list of groups\n' \
+ ' (say \"groups2.ndx\") might contain only a single group consisting of
all\n' \
+ ' of the solvent atoms.  In that case, for every frame in the
trajectory\n' \
+ ' '+program_name+' would simply report the number of water molecules
bonded to \n' \
+ ' every residue/group in the molecule.\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ 'Output (stored in the \"con.mat\" file in the example above):\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ '    For each frame in the trajectory used to generate the xpm file,
this\n' \
+ ' program generates a connectivity matrix (delimited by spaces and
newlines):\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ 'c11 c12 c13 ... c1n\n' \
+ 'c21 c22 c23 ... c2n\n' \
+ 'c31 c32 c33 ... c3n\n' \
+ ' :   :   :       :\n' \
+ 'cm1 cm2 cm3 ... cmn\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ ' where cij = the number of hydrogen bonds connecting group i (from the\n'
\
+ '             first list of groups) with group j (from the second list)\n'
\
+ '\n' \
+ 'Input:\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ ' hbmap.xpm    An .xpm file created by \"g_hbond -hbm\" that you want to
analyze\n' \
+ '              (See documentation for g_hbond.)\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ 'Arguments:\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ ' hbond.ndx    The ndx file created by \"g_hbond -hbn ...\"\n' \
+ ' groups1.ndx     The number of hydrogen bonds is counted between every
pair\n' \
+ ' groups2.ndx     of groups in these two index files: groups1.ndx &
groups2.ndx.\n' \
+ ' DA or AD     The 4th argument DA / AD is optional.\n' \
+ '\n' \
+ '              By using the \"DA\" and \"AD\" arguments, the user can
limit\n' \
+ '              the atoms that the program considers from groups1.ndx\n'\
+ '              and groups2.ndx.  The DA command line argument causes\n' \
+ '              '+program_name+' to ignore all atoms from the first list
of\n' \
+ '              groups which are not potential donor atoms, and all
atoms\n' \
+ '              from the second list which are not potential acceptors.\n'
\
+ '              (The reverse is true for the AD command.)\n' \
+ '\n'\
+ 'Performance Issues:\n' \
+ '\n'\
+ ' This program can consume lots of memory, due to the order that data
is\n' \
+ ' saved to the xpm file, especially for long trajectories.  If the
program\n'\
+ ' is performing very slowly (running out of memory), you can get around
the\n'\
+ ' problem by running g_hbond multiple times using the \"-b\" and \"-e\"
flags,\n'+ ' in order to generate multiple smaller .xpm files.  You can run
' \
+program_name+'\n'\
+ ' multiple times and concatenate the results together.\n\n'
