Title: How to include dotted line along helical axis in figure?
Post by: drboer on February 04, 2013, 02:26:53 am

Dear all,

I'd like to add the helical axis as a dotted line in the 3dna-generated figures. Despite searching for it in NP08 and in the forums and website, I couldn't find how to do it.  I did see that the  stack2img help message mentions  a LISTFILE (LISTFILE  pairs of atom serial numbers for drawing a dotted line), but I can't find the format for this file, nor how to provide it to stack2img on the command line.

Any help would be highly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Roeland Boer.

Could you be specific on what you mean by adding "the helical axis as a dotted line in the 3dna-generated figures"? As always, a concrete example would help clarify your point.

Fig. 3 (recipe #2) of the 3DNA NP08 paper shows a dotted line contacting bp centers, but I sense that's not what you want. Does the thread "defining a local helix axis (http://forum.x3dna.org/general-discussions/defining-a-local-helix-axis/)" help?
