Hi Board Members,

I need to draw the solvent accessible surface representation figure for a cation channel pore from the channel coordinates. The Hole program and the documentation is already handy to obtain the 2D-plot (pore radius vs channel coordinate) and the coloured dot surface but is limiting for a publishable figure.

Here is what I did

I used the HOLE programs sph_process and qpt_conv to obtain the dot surface file as mentioned in http://www.holeprogram.org/doc/index.html#_plotting_a_2d_graph_of_pore_radius_vs_channel_coordinate which I sourced onto VMD.
