Info

      The Info menu gives you a synopsis of properties for the atom that you are holding the mouse over. In particular, information about the following fields is identified:

• Name - the name of the atom as it appeared in the coordinate file
• Type - the type of the atom, as determined by an internal VMD match-up of the given name to a likely atom type associated with that name
• Index - the internal VMD index used to identify the atom; this is useful for specifying selection syntax to generate different representation styles for particular atoms. For PDB files Index corresponds to the atom number listed in the file minus 1 (so that the index starts with 0).
• Resname - the type of the amino or nucleic acid to which this atom belongs
• ResId - the internal VMD ID number of the entire residue to which the particular atom belongs. E.g., ResId for an atom of a protein is the same as the residue number of that atom as listed in its PDB file.
• Chain - if the coordinate file contained data in the ``Chain'' field for this atom, then that data is given here.
• Segname - the name of the segment to which this atom belongs
• X, Y, Z - the position of the atom in 3D space

In addition, there is an option ``Print'' in the Info submenu which simply prints the information into the console window, in case you would like to cut and paste the data somewhere else.
