[gmx-users] DSSP secondary structure

[mohammad r]

Thank you Justin,
I used xpm2ps command with below m2p file but the resolution was not changed. I've attached the xpm file, even the legend can't be seen.is there anyway to get the result file in pdf format?
m2p file (I found it in the gromacs website):
black&white = no ; Obsoletetitlefont = Times‐Roman ; A PostScript Fonttitlefontsize = 20 ; Font size (pt)legend = yes ; Show the legendlegendfont = Times‐Roman ; A PostScript Fontlegendlabel = ; Used when there is none in the .xpmlegend2label = ; Used when merging two xpm'slegendfontsize = 14 ; Font size (pt)xbox = 2.0 ; x‐size of a matrix elementybox = 2.0 ; y‐size of a matrix elementmatrixspacing = 20.0 ; Space between 2 matricesxoffset = 0.0 ; Between matrix and bounding boxyoffset = 0.0 ; Between matrix and bounding boxx‐major = 20 ; Major ticks on x axis every .. framesx‐minor = 5 ; Id.

You can adjust the matrix proportions with an .m2p file passed to xpm2ps -di. 
These are almost always necessary as there are many more frames than residues in 
the protein, usually an order of magnitude or more.
