[chimerax-users] About plotting independent component analysis vectors

[Tianming Qu]

Thanks a lot Dr. Meng. FYI, Is there any example script I can use as an example for using BILD to write PCA arrows?

Best,
Tianming

Hi Tianming,
There is no built-in option to read ICA vectors calculated by some other program.  You may be able to script it yourself, e.g. by creating 3D arrows in BILD format or something like that.  BILD format is a simple text input file described here:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
