First week of coding! ===================== .. post:: June 14 2021 :author: Sajag Swami :tags: google :category: gsoc Welcome to the second weekly check-in. I'll be sharing my progress for the first week of coding. What did you do this week? -------------------------- I implemented the space filling model for proteins and created a PR for the same. Preview: .. figure:: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/65067354/121518963-b92cb580-ca0e-11eb-8232-3512edc04670.png (protein rendered: `3pgk `_) The PR has: 1. Actor for space_filling_model. 2. Two examples where I show how to visualize the proteins: a. In `example 1 `_, I parse a PDBx file myself and extract the atomic info essential for constructing the model which is then used by the actor to visualize it. b. In `example 2 `_, I parse a PDB file by using `Biopython module `_ and extract the atomic info essential for constructing the model which is then used by the actor to visualize it. I created a basic test for the actor which needs to be improved. I'll discuss how to improve the test with the mentors. What is coming up next week? ---------------------------- I have two major goals for the next week: 1. Make an actor for the space filling model of the proteins and make PR for the same which will also include the unit tests and a small tutorial for the users. 2. Try to understand the documentation of vtkProteinRibbonFilter which will prove beneficial in generating Ribbon diagrams. Did you get stuck anywhere? --------------------------- I tried to create a class in python which inherits from a vtk class called vtkMoleculeReaderBase but was unsuccessful in this endeavour. I'll try to find a workaround. ``Au Revoir!``
