############################################################ # # PBCWRAP: # -------- # # VERSION: 1.4 # # REQUIREMENTS: # The package PBCtools (v1.1 or later) from the VMD script library. # # DESCRIPTION: # Wraps atoms of selection around PBC unit cell boundaries. Unit # cell geometry is taken from 'molinfo' or can be read from an # XST-file. The first timestep in the XST is omitted, because XST # info starts at frame 0 while DCD files start at frame 1 (when both # are generated by NAMD). Other than that you must yourself take care # that the XST file entries match with the loaded frames. # # If your XST file contains an unitcell with the first vector not # being parallel to the x-axis, then VMD will not display the image # cells correctly. The reason is, that VMD follows the standard # crystallographic conventions for the meaning of # a/b/c/alpha/beta/gamma where vector A is assumed to be parallel to # X. Possible problems arise from the fact that NAMD is able to work # with nonstandard unitcell geometries. PBCwrap solves this problem by # rotating your system accordingly. # # DOWNLOAD FILE: # pbcwrap.tcl # # PROCEDURES: # pbcwrap [OPTIONS...] # # Options: # -molid $molid Wrap molecule $molid (default: "top") # -sel $sel Wrap the selection $sel of atoms (default: "all") # -first $from|now|first # First frame to wrap. "now" denotes the current frame, # "first" denotes the first frame. Otherwise, give the # number $from of the frame. (default: "now") # -last $to|now|last # Last frame to wrap. "now" denotes the current frame, # "last" denotes the last frame. Otherwise, give the # number $to of the frame. (default: "now") # -xst $xstfile Read the unitcell info from $xstfile. Otherwise, the # unitcell info has to be set before. # -splitresidues By default atoms will only be wrapped if the entire # residue lies outside the unit cell. This option can be # used to override this behaviour. # -origin $origin $origin has to be a Tcl-list containing three numerical # values $a $b $c. Place the origin of the unitcell at # ($a*A, $b*B, $c*C). (default: {-0.5 -0.5 -0.5}) # -positive Equal to "-origin {0.0 0.0 0.0}". # -parallelepiped|-rectangular # Wrap the atoms into the unitcell parallelepiped or the # corresponding rectangular box. (default: -parallelepiped) # (-draw Draw some test vectors (for debugging)) # # EXAMPLE USAGE: # require pbcwrap # pbcwrap -sel "segname OXY" -xst lox_oxy_equi1-nopi.xst -first 0 -last last # # (This wraps all atoms in the selection $sel around the unitcell defined in the # XST file. All loaded frames are processed.) # # Author: # Jan Saam # Institute of Biochemistry, Charite # Monbijoustr. 2, Berlin # Germany # saam@charite.de # # Olaf Lenz # olenz _at_ fias.uni-frankfurt.de # # Feel free to send comments, bugs, etc. ############################################################
