Formats

The CLI reads molecule templates through the io feature and writes the final packed structure to the path named by the script's output keyword.

The output format is inferred from the output file extension. Input formats can be inferred from structure-file extensions or set globally with filetype.

Format Read Write Extension or filetype
PDB Yes Yes .pdb, pdb
XYZ Yes Yes .xyz, xyz
SDF / MOL Yes No .sdf, .mol, sdf
LAMMPS dump Yes Yes .lammpstrj, lammps_dump
LAMMPS data Yes No .data, lammps_data

Example

filetype pdb
output packed.xyz

structure water.pdb
  number 100
  inside box 0. 0. 0. 30. 30. 30.
end structure

The input template is read as PDB because of filetype pdb; the output is written as XYZ because the output path ends with .xyz.
