[gmx-users] Porcupine Plots

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Nahren,

Gromacs does not include a tool for generation of porcupine plots. But
if you're offered a means to do it through a webservice, all you
really need is to take the extreme projections (two frames: g_anaeig
-extr) and submit them. In a sense, you'll get the same thing if you
load the extreme projections into pymol and use 'align
extrA,extrB,object=displacement'. Then hiding one of the structures
basically gives you a porcupine plot.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
