Hi,
Is changing cartoon representation a major work? My program PALSSE
defines overlapping Secondary Structural Elements and it would be nice
if I could see cartoons without having consecutive elements merged.
It is technically possible for consecutive helices or consecutive
strands or helices and strands to have upto 2 common residues.
I was wondering if the start and ends could somehow be distinguished,
eg. by changing or adding another "more_fancy" option to not remove
the head arrow of any SSE (also add arrow to helices) and modify the
base of all SSE so they are visible at all times (probably show the base
as a circle?). The SS merge feature would probably have to be switched
off before this though.
Which is the best place to start modifications?
An example arrow:
__ *
* * * *
* ***************** *
* *
* ***************** *
* __ * * *
*
1 2 3 4
The head should be visible even if 1-2 overlaps on 3-4.
Thanks,
Indraneel
