[Pytom-mail] converting particlelists into motivelists

[Emmanuel M. <emm...@in...>]

Dear Pytom community, 

I would like to convert particle lists (.xml file) produced by pytom into "motive lists" (.em file), as used in the matlab TOM and AV3 toolboxes (see https://www.biochem.mpg.de/tom ). 
I started writing a pytom script in order to do that: 

-------------------------------------------------------------------- 


from pytom.basic.structures import ParticleList 


partlFile = 'aligned_pl_iter9.xml' 
motlFile = 'motl_aligned_iter9.em' 


pl = ParticleList() 
pl.fromXMLFile(partlFile) # read particle list 



pl.toMOTL(motlFile) # save as motive list 

-------------------------------------------------------------------- 




This script transfers most informations from the particle list into the motive list, except for the particle IDs, which is annoying. 

In the motive list row where should be the particle IDs, I just have 0,1,2,3,4,5 .... But this IDs don't correspond to the particle infos (position, orientation etc) 




Is there something I missed? Or maybe someone already wrote a script and is willing to share it?
