This modules provides support for RMF file format for storing hierarchical molecular data (such as atomic or coarse grained representations of proteins), along with markup, including geometry and score data.

IMP.rmf supports I/O of IMP::atom::Hierarchy and associated types as well as output of IMP::display::Geometry, IMP::Restraint and arbitrary IMP::Particles. For each of these there are methods like:

IMP::rmf::add_hierarchies() to add them to an RMF file, note, this does not, for various reasons, write the state to frame 0.
IMP::rmf::create_hierarchies() to create hierarchies from an RMF file
IMP::rmf::link_hierarchies() to link existing hierarchies to a corresponding ones in the rmf file

Once objects are linked/added/created, they are attached to the RMF file. IMP::rmf::load_frame() can be used to change the state of the linked objects to that of an arbitrary frame and IMP::rmf::save_frame() can be used to save the current state of the objects into a frame in the RMF file.

See the RMF library for more information.
