Graphics (META, POVRAY, RASMOL)
PLATON/PLUTON will generate by default an Encapsulated PostScript file of
the image displayed on the Image Canvas by clicking on the leftmost box button
(indicated with 'EPS').
The Encapsulated PostScript default may be changed into HPGL or TEK4014
with a code selection button on the PLATON opening window, or
with one of the keyboard instructions set meta HPGL,
set meta TEK4014.
In the PLUTON mode, there are two interfaces available to
other molecular graphics programs.
- Clicking on 'Pov' will generate a file '.pov' suitable for the
raytracing program POVRAY.
POVRAY will be executed when implemented.
- Clicking on 'Ras' will generate a 'PDB'structured '.ras' file suitable
for the Molecular Visualisation Program RASMOL. RASMOL will be
executed when implemented.
The executables 'povray' and 'rasmol' are assumed to be globally
accessible. Alternatively, a path may be given in environment variables.
e.g. 'setenv POVEXE '/usr/local/bin/povray'
'setenv RASEXE '/usr/local/bin/rasmol'
