draw

draw is used to draw secondary structures as Postscript images. These Postscript images can be drawn in a variety of ways, including annotated or circularized. Every individual structure is sized to fit on a single Postscript page.

USAGE: draw <ct file> <ps file> [options]

Required parameters:

<ct file> The name of file containing CT data for the structure to be drawn.
<ps file> The name of a Postscript image file to which output will be written.

Options which don't require added values:

-c, -C, --circle Specify that the structure should be drawn with its backbone around a circle. Default is to show a collapsed structure.
-h, -H, --help Display the usage details message.

Options which require added values:

-p, -P, --probability Specify the name of the file from which base pairing probability data will be read for annotation. This file must be a partition function save file generated by partition.
Default is no probability annotation file used.
-s, -S, --SHAPE Specify the name of the file from which SHAPE data will be read for annotation.
Default is no SHAPE annotation file used.
