I used contact map plugin in VMD to generate a contact map, but is there any modification we can do to get publication quality image of the map like changing colors etc. It simply gives me a plain contact map for now.
Martin, I can work on the Programming part with Python, but is there anyway I can extract the data from the postscript file or I can write out the data from TK Console or something ?
As for the extracting of the heatmap data from the postscript file---it will require for you to do some scripting---what you need is to create a 2D array of "color values" obtained from the RGB colors in the postscript file. If you are versed in Python, you can do the extracting and plotting in one sweep.
