 I have a 2000 frame animation. I'd like to add a representation which
is a distance line between two residues -- the standard sort of thing
you get on any engineering drawing:

      | 5.5 A |
res_y ---------------------------- res_y
      | |

This seems like a standard sort of thing to do, but I can't see a way to
easily do this without learning a lot of VMD scripting details to add
this on a frame by frame basis (I'm sure if I knew Tcl and VMD, this
would be almost trivially easy, but acquiring that knowledge will likely
take me many hours to days of trial and error).

Also, I would love to have an animated contact map of two domains in an
MD simulation. Is such a thing possible?

Thanks,

Ian
