EnergyPlot

EnergyPlot is used to create a folding free energy plot generated after determining the structure of a strand or strands of nucleic acids. The output is a Postscript document.

USAGE: EnergyPlot <save file> <ps file> [options]

Required parameters:

<save file> The name of a file containing probability data from a previous folding calculation. These folding free energy save files usually end in ".sav".
<ps file> The name of a Postscript image file to which output will be written.

Options which don't require added values:

-h, -H, --help Display the usage details message.

Options which require added values:

-e, -E, --entries Specify the number of categories in the plot legend.
Default is 5 entries.
-max, -MAX, --maximum Specify the maximum value in the plot.
Default is the largest valid value in the plot.
-min, -MIN, --minimum Specify the minimum value in the plot.
Default is the smallest valid value in the plot.
