Re: recent nmrDraw problem reported by our friend Keith --
It turns out the problem was due to executing the
"nmrdraw" program directly, without arguments.
The command "nmrDraw" should be used instead.
As you may know, the command "nmrDraw" is actually
a script which starts "nmrdraw" with the appropriate
arguments.
Many Cheerful Regards,

Hi,
<P>I installed nmrpipe on an Indigo2 running IRIX 6.4, the installation
ran with no errors and the programs executed correctly. We have since upgraded
the operating system to IRIX 6.5.2, and now the command nmrdraw prints
the legal notice and crashes with the message:
<P>Bus error (core dumped)
<P>I've tried reinstalling the software form the NIH site, but the problem
persists. Has anybody else run into this problem or have suggestions for
a cure?
<P>Thanks,
<BR> Keith

Hello -
We've recently been running a few of Varian's "protein pack" pulse
sequences, and I've had terrible luck processing the resulting data with
nmrPipe. The data looks fine processed with Vnmr. Normally, data
processed with nmrPipe looks better (in my opinion) than vnmr data, but
this is not the case here.
I figured out that when we run some of the 3-D experiments as 2-D
experiments (for optimization purposes), the 2-D experiments need to be
gradsorted for nmrPipe to process them correctly, even though vnmr itself
doesn't need the data to be gradsorted.
The corresponding 3-D data sets are giving me all kinds of grief. I am
seeing some strange symmetry related problems - not a mirroring exactly,
but definitely a duplication of sorts. Of course, this prevents me from
phasing in a meaningful way also.
If any of you have had luck processing the data from some of the newer 3-D
experiments, or have any tips on troubleshooting processing scripts with
this strange data, I'm all ears.
Thank you!

If f1180='n', then you should not need a phase correction
in the indirect dimension - just scaling of the first
data point, which is not really recorded at t=0.
If you are having problems, e.g. mirror image peaks in f1,
besure to use a program like Lewis Kay's "grad_sort" to
pre-process the FID's for sensitivity enhancement and
gradient selection.

Dear colleague,
I just start learning to use the nmrPipe. In the sample
directory of 'varian2d', the file of ft2.com performs
phase correction(-90, 180) in indirect dimension. I checked
the propar file , the 'f1180' was set to 'n'. Why need phase
correction in such situation? Thanks a lot for answering
my question.

Hi Debra,
My cheap way to edit Postscript file on SGI or PC Linux is first to
convert it into EPS file (with preview image) by "ps2epsi", a shell
script. Then import the EPS file (with preview image) to programs
like "tgif" or "xfig". In "tgif" or "xfig" I can annotate the encapsulated
postscript image then output them in various formats like "ps", "eps","gif",
etc.

The GIMP (The GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a Photoshop work-alike that
might allow you to do what you need. The downside of it is that it is still
in its early versions (1.0.2 is the latest stable release) and that you will
probably have to compile first the gtk library and then the GIMP package
itself. The upside is that it is freeware and has attracted a large
following of developers and users in a short time.
See http://www.gimp.org/ and ftp://ftp.gimp.org/ for details. I've played
around with pre-compiled versions that ship with the Slackware Linux
distribution and have made a uncompleted, half-hearted effort to compile it
for our SGI (half-hearted mostly because my new sub-$1000 Linux box does just
about everything faster than our 3-year old SGI box, including NMR data
transformations and restrained MD calculations).
Best of luck,
--Joe

The problem may also have to do with the amount of RAM that Illustrator
has access to. On a Mac this is an easy fix; not quite sure what
to do with a PC. I have had problems importing very large (i.e. many
many contours) Postscript files into Illustrator 7.0 on a Mac. In those
situations, I've manually edited the .ps file with vi and reviewed the
output using xpsview, all on an SGI.

We use (but do not necessarily wholeheartedly endorse) a program called
IslandDraw (now bundled with IslandWrite and some other goodies). This can
read postscript easily, and allows "ungrouping" of pieces of the figure
(such as axes or tick marks) for separate movement, labeling, removal,
enlargement, etc. The downside of this program is the high cost: At least
$1000 for the original package, good only for *one* user at a time; this
is followed by yearly demands for more than $200 for retaining the
priviledge of doing things like moving the software to a different
computer. (If you don't pay the yearly extortion, they charge you $150
each time you want to move the program to a different computer.) In
addition, the drawing program has only the most primitive writing
capability (a few fonts and styles), so that labeling an axis with
something as simple as (15N) is difficult because there is no superscript!
However, IslandDraw is simple to use, and makes good-looking figures right
on your Unix box.

Hi!
PostScript files are text files, so to edit, add/delete text, can use jot on
SGI and xpsview to view the results (reopen after editing, saving).
The ghosview is nicer, as it gives the coordiantes of the cross-hair cursor
and makes positioning of the text easier.
Virgil
Hi - The program "IslandDraw" does a very good job of reading
ps files and allowing you to edit, etc. I believe that there
are Sun and SGI versions.

We have beem using Adobe Illustrator for doing this for a couple of
years now, on both PC's
and Macs. Have not tried the SGI version. File can be saved in
Illustrator format or
as a EPS or PS file.

Hmmm. Illustrator is my preferred program for this, but I've used it
almost exclusively on Mac platforms where it works well. I recall
that older versions of Illustrator (pre-v5) had some issues with
importing generic Postscript files, which could be a problem if your
SGI version of Illustrator is on the older side. In this case,
you've got several options if you'd still like to go with Illustrator:
-upgrade your version of Illustrator on the SGI (or get
a newer PC version) that can open just about any Postscript
file
-get a nice utility called "aimaker" that will convert
any Postscript into a file that older versions of Illustrator
will find more palatable. A shar-file distribution of this
package can be found at:
ftp.aos.princeton.edu/pub/olsewsk

I would like to find software either on the SGI or PC that would allow me to
view AND edit the .ps file output generated by nmrDraw (e.g. labeling of 2D
contour regions).
I can insert the ps file into my PC's powerpoint but not view it. I can use
xpsview on the SGI to view the .ps file but can not edit or re-save it as a tiff
or other type of file. Adobe Illustrator on the SGI does not open this as a

Dear Colleagues,
Some comments on peak picking errors below, as inspired
by our friend Werner K. ...
Many Regards,
Frank
---
The NMRDraw Peak/Detect command actually performs peak detection
in the background, via a special NMRWish tcl script. A new
script is constructed and saved each time a Peak/Detect command
is issued from NMRDraw. The name of the script is always "pk.tcl",
and it will be saved in NMRDraw's current working directory.
The script itself performs the peak detection, and saves the results
in a table. When detection is complete, the script exits, and then
NMRDraw reads the table and displays the results.
There are a few places where this scheme can go astray:
1. Since a script "pk.tcl" will be created and saved, you must
have write permissions in the working directory. If you
don't have appropriate permissions, the script can't be created,
and peak detection will fail.
2. The script requires a definition of the location of the
"nmrWish" program. This is established by the environment
variable "NMRBIN", which should point to the directory
containing the various NMRPipe executables (for example,
/disk1/NMRPipe/nmrbin.sgi6x). Normally, this environment
variable and others are established by the initialization
script "nmrInit.*.com" which is created during installation
of NMRPipe. NMRPipe users should execute this script or one
like it to establish the required environment variables.
If these values are not established correctly, peak detection,
along with many other features, will not work.
3. We've heard that in certain versions of UNIX, scripts may not
work if the directory path (e.g. NMRBIN above) contains too
many characters. If this problem is suspected, you can try
to use symbolic links to create a shorter path to the software.
Hallo, nmrPipe community!
when I try to peak-pick a 3D spectrum within nmrPipe (new version 1.7), I
get the crazy message: "error executing system command " and "error
detecting peaks" from nmrPipe. At the shell-level, the response is: "pk.tcl
not found". That pk.tcl can't be found, is not really surprising, because it
is definitively not there.
My problem is that it was also not there with my previous installation (at
least I can't localized it in the old directories), but peak-picking used
to work very fine!!!
Has someone any idea what might be wrong? Has someone else encountered the
same problem?
Best regards

While I can't speak for Linux-based systems, I've been able to happily
use my own Tcl/Tk on my system (Irix 6.5.3m, running Tcl 8.0.4 and Tk
8.0.4). Given that I use other Tcl/Tk-based applications (nmrview),
the prospects of each of them carrying their own Tcl/Tk distributions
bothered me so I hopped over to use a new common one. Things seem
to be working OK from here, but your mileage may vary....
Sincerely,
Kevin

Thanks to all who gave me hints about why my graphics server
would fail to start nmrDraw, complaining about color allocation.
Problem is, I already tried those:
- run with '-virt Sometimes'
- limit number of colors in startx
- limit the number of concurrent applications - there was nothing
but nmrDraw.
Now, another suggestion was that I replace the supplied Tcl with
a new recompiled Tcl7.6 or Tcl8.0 in the $TCL_LIBRARY. Is it OK to supply our
own version?
This is probably for Frank to answer. (?)
Regards to all,
Virgil

Virgil,
Just in case you haven't already done so: have you tried running nmrDraw
with the argument '-virt sometimes' ?
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Virgil,
I have nmrPipe installed on my P75 running Slackware 3.6. The same problem
you described occurred to me when I tried to run some color demanding
applications (such as Netscape) and nmrDraw at the same time. I guess it
has something to do with the color map allocation. Xview couldn't allocate
enough color for nmrDraw. So maybe you might want to try to close other
applications when you run nmrDraw.

Thanks, Gerard!
I tried your suggestion, actually the command is 'startx -- -bpp 8', but
to no avail.
The processing works fine, I can use a remote workstation as a display
and see the results. It is only the graphics package on the linux machine
that refuses to display nmrDraw.
Any idea what can be missing, a path? Something installed in a
non-standard location, but what? I don't know anything about Intel
(inside or outside ;-) ) and linux. Somebody else has done all the
basic system setup of the machine.
Regards,
Virgil

Hi Virgil,
Make sure you're running Xwindows using 256 colors (8bpp) only.
If you're using too many colors NMRDRAW won't work.
You can set the number of colors by using startx -- -8bbp
Good luck,
Gerard.

Hi everyone!
I installed the new NMRPipe on a PC running RedHat Linux 5.2
but when I type nmrDraw, the program tries to start and then would
complain that it cannot allocate colors and planes ( a long list...)
and quit.
It seems that tclsh is missing, although Tcl/Tk scripts do run.
For example, if I just type 'bruker', the conversion setup program
starts, displays the windows, etc.
I had no problems with installing NMRPipe on an O2.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Virgil

Hi Frank,
thank you very much for informing me on your latest software release
including TALOS. I just printed out the preprint from your website as the
journal has not availlable yet.
I also tried to download the latest nmrPipe version from your ftp-site at
speck.niddk.gov.nih, but it appears to me that my password is no longer
valid. It may due to the change of my e-mail address which is now
"werner.klaus.wk1@...". It may be as well that I made a typing error
when printing my password although I tried several times. Could be please
help me?
Best regards
Werner

Dear Colleagues,
We've just updated the usual NMRPipe installation files
to include the TALOS program for prediction of protein
phi and psi angles using chemical shifts. So, by installing
the currently-posted versions of NMRPipe from our FTP site,
TALOS will be automatically installed as well.
Use your existing NMRPipe FTP password to access the FTP site.
See the file "pub/INSTALL" at the FTP site for installation
instructions.
Details of the use and performance of TALOS can be found
at this web site:
http://spin.niddk.nih.gov/bax/software/TALOS/info.html
Hope the new software is useful, looking forward to your
comments ...
Best Regards,
Frank

Dear Colleagues,
The note from Joe regarding Linux/SGI most likely concerns
the byte-ordering differences between PC hardware and most
other UNIX hardware. Some info that may be helpful follows.
Best Regards,
Frank
---
Using the "-inSwap" flag will cause nmrPipe to convert
(byte-swap) the input header before interpreting in.
Using the "-outSwap" flag will cause nmrPipe to convert
(byte-swap) the output header before writing it.
The nmrPipe funcion "SHUF -bswap" can be used to byte-swap
the data itself.
Some examples:
On a PC, to "export" to SGI:
nmrPipe -in pc.ft2 -outSwap -fn SHUF -bswap -out sgi.ft2
On an SGI, to "import" PC data:
nmrPipe -in pc.ft2 -inSwap -fn SHUF -bswap -out sgi.ft2
Conversion can also be performed in-place, such as:
nmrPipe -in test.ft2 -inSwap -fn SHUF -bswap -out test.ft2 -inPlace
Dear nmrPipe and XEASY users:
I'm trying to get 2D homonuclear Varian data processed and converted such
that I can use it in spscan/xeasy. I've been using versions of the nmrPipe
suite, SPSCAN and Xeasy running on both an SGI Indy R5K under IRIX 6.2 and
on my home machine, an AMD k6-II-300 running Linux kernel 2.0.34 Slackware
3.5 distribution (I've also tried Debian 2.0 with older libraries installed,
but that's another story.
The Varian data is tnnoesy and tntocsy data. On the SGI, I can get it
processed and read into SPSCAN, but I'm not sure I'm getting the folding
quite right--I think I need RSH in the directly detected dimension but not
in the indirect dimension. Does that sound right?
(The first line from nmrPipe showhdr is:
FILE: temp.ft1 DIM: 2 QUAD: Complex 2DMODE: States )
On the Linux box, the SPSCAN I downloaded from the Wutrich lab ftp site
launches just fine, and by manually performing the commands from the
pipe2xeasy.spm macro, I can successfully (or so it seems) do the "access
pipe" command to read in the results from the nmrPipe "showhdr" command, but
then SPSCAN segfaults when I try the "trafo read" command on the resulting
*.param file.
I'd very much like to have a complete Linux solution to our NMR processing
and analysis needs, if for no other reason than the sub-$1000 Linux box
outperforms the SGI in most tasks.
I'd appreciate any advice or information offered on how to properly convert
my nmrPipe processed data to SPSCAN on our SGI (where SPSCAN works), and on
getting SPSCAN to work under Linux.
FYI, these are the libraries spscan uses:
ldd /opt/xeasy/spscan.1.0.62.linux
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4000a000)
libg++.so.27 => /usr/ix86-linux/lib/libg++.so.27 (0x4009c000)
libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/ix86-linux/lib/libstdc++.so.27 (0x400df000)
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40122000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4012b000)

Hi,
We're infrequent nmrPipe users, and wondered if anyones gone to the
trouble of writing a "cookbook"/"cheat sheet"/"how to" for the software. If
you would be prepared to share that with me (informally) I would be most
grateful.
Thanks,
Mike
