This code has been put under version control in the project Pymol-script-repo

Enhanced version of this plugin is now available at CMPyMOL

The contact map visualizer plugin can link contact map images to the residues in PyMOL in a interactive way. Contact maps are pixel graphics where each protein residue corresponds to one line and one row of pixels. Thus for a 100 residue protein, such a image has 100x100 pixels. A common tool to generate such images is g_mdmat from the gromacs package.

Usage

contact_map_visualizer [ image_file [, selection ]]

Required Dependencies

  • pygame
  • Tkinter (optional and usually included with PyMOL)
  • PIL (optional, for automatically converting XPM images)

Example for installing all dependencies on a Ubuntu like system:

<source lang="bash"> sudo apt-get ..→
