===Section 7: Animation from Polyview-3D=== | ===Section 7: Animation from Polyview-3D=== | ||
Minimal steps to make an animation: | |||
#Use the Firefox browser. (Initial orientation, Set by Jmol does not work in Safari.) | |||
#Go to [http://polyview.cchmc.org/polyview3d.html Polyview-3D]. | |||
#Enter your PDB ID. | |||
#Change "Type of request" from "Single slide" to "Animation". | |||
#Click "Get Preview". | |||
#Under "Extended Settings" (near the bottom) check "Animation Settings". | |||
#In the "Animation Settings" box that opens, set Delay to 10/100. | |||
#Change "Angle step" to 5 degrees. | |||
#Check "Rocking". | |||
#Change "angle range" for rocking to 45 degrees. | |||
#Click "Get 3D Image". | |||
The above steps are the minimum for an animation that avoids putting a heavy load on the server. Feel free to try other options, but while the class is in session, please don't make a large (>300 pixel) animation, or increase the angle range, or decrease the angle step size. Otherwise, the server may get overloaded and take a very long time to produce results. After class is over, feel free to submit more demanding jobs. If you highlight specific residues, please explain why. | |||
In Powerpoint, animations move only when the slides are projected (full-screen). | |||
With Windows Powerpoint, you can simply drag the animation directly from the Polyview-3D web page and drop it into a Powerpoint slide. | |||
With Mac Powerpoint, only the method below produces a slide that will animate continuously -- but animation may work only when the .ppt file created with Mac Powerpoint is projected in Windows Powerpoint. | |||
#Control-Click on the animation in the Polyview-3D web page, and select Save Image As ... | |||
#Save the image to the Desktop. | |||
#Drag the image file (filename ending in .gif) from the Desktop and drop it into a Powerpoint slide. | |||
#As stated above, the animation will work only when the saved .ppt file is projected in Windows Powerpoint. | |||
