spring 1.0
----------
REQUIREMENTS: VMD Version 1.1 or greater, use in orthographic mode
DESCRIPTION:
After an atom has been picked, call "spring". It generates a
a mechanical spring from the location of the atom outward toward
the eye position. By default the spring has a radius of 3 A and
a length of 20 Angstroms. These and other parameters can be
altered in well-labelled parts of the procedure if desired. This
script is useful to those who do simulated micromanipulation
experiments. It comes in handy when explaining the method by
which parts of the protein were pulled.
PROCEDURES:
spring - be sure to pick an atom before calling this
EXAMPLE OUTPUT
Sample showing a spring added to an atom
of the alanin molecule. This image has been rotated by 90 degrees
to make the spring fully visible.
