Hi,

Thanks for your time. Sorry, but no, this doesn't seem to be what I'm
looking for. I'm looking for a way to actually print the exact length of
the hydrogen bond next to the red dashed line representing it (i.e., a text
label). I know that it is possible to label specific bonds/lengths by going
to "VMD Main" -> "Mouse" -> "Label" -> "Bonds". However, my hydroxyl groups
rapidly form and break hydrogen bonds (due to ion motions), so I cannot just
pick one distance and label it.

Thanks so much.

Andrew

"Representation" -> "Trajectory Tab" -> "Update selection every frame"

Is this what you're looking for?

        Greetings,
        
        I am using "Drawing Method = HBonds" in "Graphical Representations"
in the
        VMD GUI to display hydrogen bonds (I am using a distance cutoff of
3.0
        Angstrom and an angle cutoff of 20 degrees).
        
        Is it possible to dynamically display the length of each hydrogen
bond?
        
        Thank you!
