CCP4 Suite (CCP4: Basic)

NAME

ccp4i, ccp4ish, loggraph - interface to CCP4 programs & file display

SYNOPSIS

ccp4i [-h] [-c] [-t task_name] [-r run_file] [-v [file]] [-g [file]]

ccp4ish run_file

ccp4ish -install task_name task_archive
ccp4ish -uninstall task_name
ccp4ish -import_packages old_ccp4i_directory

loggraph [file]

DESCRIPTION

ccp4i is the main graphical interface, ccp4ish runs non-graphical scripts (e.g. the .run scripts which run the CCP4 programs), and loggraph plots graphs from CCP4 format tables in logfiles.

See $CCP4I_TOP/help/index.html for the full ccp4i documentation.

OPTIONS

ccp4i: run the full ccp4i interface
-h[elp]: displays introductory help text
-c[onfigure]: Configure the interface initial parameters which are stored in the file $CCP4I_TOP/etc/configure.def.
-t[ask] task_name: Run the interface to individual tasks.
Currently supported:
cad, dm, export (incl: mtz2various) fft (incl: extend, mapman, mbkall), import (incl: f2mtz uniqueify) , mlphare, patterson (incl: fft, peakmax, vectors, npo) protin, refmac, rotaprep, scala, scaleit (inc: fhscal), sortmtz, solomon, truncate
-r[un] run_file: Nearly equivalent to 'ccp4ish run_file' Run a .run file which is a Tcl script, generated by the interface, which runs the CCP4 programs. This allows you to rerun run scripts outside of the graphical interface. If you have a graphical ccp4i interface open at the same time then it will be sent a message when the run_file starts and finishes. Alternatively the command 'ccp4ish run_file' will run a script and will not send any messages. If you are running a script remotely using rsh then you must use ccp4ish.
-v[iew] [file]: Display the contents of file using appropriate viewer - eg run mtzdmp for an mtz file or use xplot84driver for plot84 format file. The file format is assumed from the file extension. If no file name is given a file browser will allow you to select a file and define the file format explicitly.
-g[raph] [file]: This is equivalent to loggraph [file]. ccp4i -g will run loggraph.
Display graphs from a log file (expected file extension .log) or a data file (expected file extension .dat) with columns of data. If no file name is given a file browser will allow you to select a file and define the file format explicitly.
-install task_name task_archive: Automatically install a task from a task archive file, with CCP4i task package name task_name.
See also the CCP4i documentation on Installing New Task Interfaces.
-uninstall task_name: Automatically uninstall a previously installed CCP4i task package task_name.
See also the CCP4i documentation on Installing New Task Interfaces.
-import_packages old_ccp4_directory: Automatically reinstall all CCP4i task packages that had previously been installed in another CCP4 installation in old_ccp4_directory.
See also the CCP4i documentation on Installing New Task Interfaces.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

ccp4i needs Tcl/Tk to run, loggraph requires Tcl/Tk with the BLT extensions. The recommended versions are Tcl8.0/Tk8.0/BLT2.4, the interface will run under Tcl7.6/Tk4.2/BLT2.3 but NOT any earlier versions.

More technical details can be found in the file $CCP4/ccp4i_installation.html.
