[PyMOL] Contact map visualizer

2016-05-11 Thread James Starlight
Dear Pymol users!

I am in charge with the analysis of protein-protein association during
long molecular dynamic simulation. In particularly I am interesting to
find residues on one of the protein which are crustal for the binding
interface established during Md.
For that purpose I am trying to use Contact map visualizer plugin to
map contact maps produced by gromacs onto the 3D structure via Pymol.
The problem that on the stage of loading of the contact map Pymol
proposed me to load only png or jpg files (not xpm produced by
g_mdmat). How it's possible to solve the issue? Any other suggestions
regarding my topic?

Thanks!

James

[PyMOL] Slow ray trace

2016-05-11 Thread Nicholas Michelarakis
Hello,

Apologies for the somewhat naive and general question but I have tried
anything I could think of and I'm running out of options.

I was using pymol to ray some high quality images. The scene was quite
complex. The settings used were:

antialias 2
ray_trace_mode 1
stick_quality, 50
fancy_helices, on

with these settings I would ray 3600 and take approx 10mins to complete.
Two days later, after restoring the session from a saved .pse file, I was
trying to render the same images at a different orientation, exactly the
same settings. This time it took approximately 2 hours per image with a
rate of 1 frame/hour. At first I though it was the complexity of the scene
that had somehow changed in the new orientation but when I tried rendering
a simple cartoon protein structure, which would otherwise take seconds, it
now takes around 20 mins, same rate.

I'm on ubunutu 14.04, nothing else is running on my workstation and nothing
else is using the cpu. Interestingly, i tried using a different machine and
I'm getting the same slow rate.

Any ideas on what could cause this behaviour? I'm happy to provide further
info if necessary.

Cheers,
Nick

Hi James,

You can convert the .xpm file to .png/.jpg using tools like convert
(imagemagick) and Gimp. Convert doesn't always get the Gromacs .xpm right,
but it's an easy one to try.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
