How do I export images from a trajectory to png or pov files?
-------------------------------------------------------------
With ase-gui, you can choose :menuselection:`File --> Save`, but this is
not fun if you need to do it for many images. Here is how to do it on
the command line for a number of images::
ase-gui images.traj@0 -o image0.pov
ase-gui images.traj@1 -o image1.pov
ase-gui images.traj@2 -o image2.pov
If you have many images, it will be easier to do it using the Python
interpreter:
>>> from ase import *
>>> for n, image in enumerate(read('images.traj@:3')):
... write('image%d.pov' % n, image, run_povray=True, pause=False,
... rotation='-90x,10z')
Here, we also:
* run povray to generate png files
* disable pausing between the images
* set a rotation (choose :menuselection:`View --> Rotate ...` in ase-gui to
select the best rotation angles)
Try:
>>> help(write)
to see all possibilities or read more :func:`here <ase.io.write>`.
