# ReadPDB

VTKExamples/Cxx/IO/ReadPDB

### Description

This example reads Protein Data Bank files. The example expects a file in .pdb format.

Here is a sample file.

### CMakeLists.txt

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

    PROJECT(ReadPDB)

    find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
    include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

    add_executable(ReadPDB MACOSX_BUNDLE ReadPDB.cxx)

    target_link_libraries(ReadPDB ${VTK_LIBRARIES})

### Download and Build ReadPDB

Danger

The generation of tar files has not been ported to the new VTKExamples. Some tarballs may be missing or out-of-date.

Click here to download ReadPDB and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ReadPDB.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd ReadPDB/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./ReadPDB

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
