Detailed Description

DCDReporter outputs a series of frames from a Simulation to a DCD file.

To use it, create a DCDReporter, then add it to the Simulation's list of reporters.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def __init__ (   self,
  file,
  reportInterval 
)

Create a DCDReporter.

Parameters:
file(string) The file to write to
reportInterval(int) The interval (in time steps) at which to write frames
def __del__ (   self)

Member Function Documentation

def describeNextReport (   self,
  simulation 
)

Get information about the next report this object will generate.

Parameters:
simulation(Simulation) The Simulation to generate a report for
Returns:
(tuple) A five element tuple. The first element is the number of steps until the next report. The remaining elements specify whether that report will require positions, velocities, forces, and energies respectively.
def report (   self,
  simulation,
  state 
)

Generate a report.

Parameters:
simulation(Simulation) The Simulation to generate a report for
state(State) The current state of the simulation
