Dear all,
I am writing a new plugin that should enable VMD to work with Finite
Element Trajectories. Currently, my plugin reads correctly the input
file, through:
  plugin.open_file_read
then loads and displays the surface triangles through:
  plugin.read_rawgraphics
and finally releases my handler:
  plugin.close_file_read

The next step should be to load the whole trajectory, and this is where
I need some advice. I understand that this should be done through:
   plugin.read_next_timestep
but, will it update the vertices of the triangles? How can I do so using
molfile_timestep_t? Is there an easy workaround?

Thanks in advance,
Albert
