[Chimera-users] Smoothing a trajectory

[Daniel Gurnon]

Here it is:

from chimera import openModels, Molecule, runCommand
i=1
runCommand ("morph start #0 frames 2")
totalModels=len(openModels.list(modelTypes=[Molecule]))
for m in openModels.list(modelTypes=[Molecule]):
    while i < totalModels:
        runCommand ("morph interpolate #" +str(i)+ " frames 2")
        i=int(i)+1

runCommand ("morph movie")
