Animation
This option allows one to view an animation of a trajectory using VMD. To do so, VMD must be installed and the
preferences variables vmd_path storing the path for VMD reader executable must be correctly set.
Pressing the Animation button will pop up the dialog shown on figure 4.67
The following input fields controls the parameters to visualize an animation of a trajectory through VMD:
- MMTK Trajectory file
Format: string
Default: the loaded trajectory filename if one trajectory is currently loaded. Nothing otherwise
Description: this widget allows to specify the name of the trajectory animation to visualize.
- First step
Format: integer in [1,traj_length] where traj_length is the number of frames of the input trajectory
Default: 1 if one trajectory is currently loaded.or nothing otherwise.
Description: this widget allows to specify the first step of the trajectory to visualize.
- Last step
Format: integer in [1,traj_length] where traj_length is the number of frames of the input trajectory
Default: the trajectory last step if one trajectory is currently loaded or nothing otherwise.
Description: this widget allows to specify the last step of the trajectory to visualize. Depending on the
trajectory, calling VMD from nMOLDYN is quite time-consuming, the entered value should not be too high.
- Skip step
Format: integer in [1,traj_length[ where traj_length is the number of frames of the input trajectory
Default: 1 if one trajectory is currently loaded.or nothing otherwise.
Description: this widget allows to specify the number of trajectory steps to skip between each step to visualize.
Pressing the OK button will run the animation, pressing the Cancel button will close the dialog.
