Hello,
I am a new user to VMD. I am currently reading and working
through the tutorials entitled "Using VMD", "VMD Images
and Movies", and "Bionanotechnology Tutorial" in order to
obtain a better understanding of VMD.
However, before I proceed, I was wondering if I could gain some
assistance with a basic question.
My question involves how to load coordinate data into VMD and
create movies using this data.
I have trajectory data (x, y, and z coordinate data as a function of
time) that I would like to "load" into VMD and make a movie of
the movement of my structure.
So, just imagine a particle bead interacting with a surface of beads.
I have the coordinates of the surface and the coordinates of the particle
as a function of time, now I want to make a movie of the trajectory.
(I do not have a .pdb file of either my particle bead nor of my surface. I
just have coordinates).
However, I am a little confused about how to do this (of if this can
be done at all).
Upon first glance (although I am not too sure how to do this) it appears
that I would have to write a script, using the graphics commands, to draw
my "scene" at every instance in time and then use those frames to create
the movie.
Am I thinking about this correctly or is there another solution to my
problem?
Thanks again for your time and assistance,
Wallace.
