A normal web browser can be used to control VMD, allowing
presentations and demonstrations to be put online, so that others can
view them. These pages describe what you need to do to view and
create VMD-enabled web pages. If have any questions beyond what is
explained here, please send email to vmd@ks.uiuc.edu.
Viewing VMD-enabled web pages
To view the demos, you need to download and
install VMD. For Microsoft Windows, you need to be using VMD
version 1.7.1 or later. Next, configure your
browser to use VMD.
Now you may view a demo.
Creating VMD-enabled web pages
- Download the files used to create the demo page
from demo.zip or demo.tgz.
- Unpack these files in the directory where you want to create your
web page. Here's what you get:
one_glpf.pdb |
Example PDB file. |
glpf.png |
Image of the system. |
index.html |
The web page. |
main.html |
Text of the presentation. |
control.vmd |
VMD script that controls the presentation. |
blankcmd.html |
File that initially occupies the command frame. |
.htaccess |
Included for users of the Apache web server. If you are using
a different web server, you will need to assign the MIME type
chemical/x-vmd to
.vmd files. |
- Finally, modify
main.html and the commands at the end
of control.vmd to create your presentation. Following
the example, create a procedure for every needed command. You can
then write a link to the command as
<a href="http://127.0.0.1:2000/proc" target="invisible">, where proc is
replaced by the procedure you want to call.
