Introduction

This script was setup to do generic plotting, that is given a set of data and axis labels it would create a plot. Initially, I had it setup to draw the plot directly in the PyMol window (allowing for both 2D and 3D style plots), but because I couldn't figure out how to billboard CGO objects (Warren told me at the time that it couldn't be done) I took a different approach. The plot now exists in it's own window and can only do 2D plots. It is however interactive. I only have here a Rama.(phi,psi) plot, but the code can be easily extended to other types of data. For instance, I had this working for an energy vs distance data that I had generated by another script.

This script will create a Phi vs Psi(Ramachandran) plot of the selection given. The plot will display data points which can be dragged around Phi,Psi space with the corresponding residue's Phi,Psi angles changing in the ..→
