mdtraj.load_hdf5

mdtraj.load_hdf5(filename, stride=None, atom_indices=None, frame=None)[source]

Load an MDTraj hdf5 trajectory file from disk.

Parameters:
  • filename (path-like) – Path of HDF Trajectory file.

  • stride (int, default=None) – Only read every stride-th frame

  • atom_indices (array_like, optional) – If not none, then read only a subset of the atoms coordinates from the file. This may be slightly slower than the standard read because it requires an extra copy, but will save memory.

  • frame (int, optional) – Use this option to load only a single frame from a trajectory on disk. If frame is None, the default, the entire trajectory will be loaded. If supplied, stride will be ignored.

Examples

>>> import mdtraj as md
>>> traj = md.load_hdf5('output.h5')
>>> print traj
<mdtraj.Trajectory with 500 frames, 423 atoms at 0x110740a90>
>>> traj2 = md.load_hdf5('output.h5', stride=2, top='topology.pdb')
>>> print traj2
<mdtraj.Trajectory with 250 frames, 423 atoms at 0x11136e410>
Returns:

trajectory – The resulting trajectory, as an md.Trajectory object.

Return type:

md.Trajectory
