Trajectory Movie Maker 1.0 -------------------------- REQUIREMENTS: VMD Version 1.0 or greater DESCRIPTION: Type 'make_trajectory_movie_files' to generate a sequence of RGB snapshots of the VMD Display. One snapshot will be made for each frame of the animation for your molecule. For more information on customizing this procedure, see the details regarding take_picture, which are discussed here. For instance, by altering parameters in the call to take_picture, you might choose to save just every fifth frame of the animation. Or, you could specify a rendering option other than snapshot. A large range of possibilities exist. You can use the SGI program 'mediaconvert' to make an MPEG or a Quicktime movie of the RGB images that you generate. PROCEDURES: make_trajectory_movie_files - generates by default one RGB image per animation frame, using the renderer 'snapshot.' To change these default operations, change parameters in the call to take_picture in the body of the procedure take_picture - a general, multi-purpose routine for taking VMD screen shots DOWNLOAD THE FILE: trajectory_movie.tcl AUTHOR: Andrew Dalke (dalke@ks.uiuc.edu)
