From geoff at compbio.dundee.ac.uk Wed Oct 1 12:33:54 2003 From: geoff at compbio.dundee.ac.uk (Geoff Barton) Date: Wed Oct 1 11:33:51 2003 Subject: [Discuss] Alscript and US letter paper In-Reply-To: <9121421710342321@webmail.iastate.edu> References: <9121421710342321@webmail.iastate.edu> Message-ID: Dear Andres, Thanks for the question. I know you have tried this, but a combination of max and min_side commands together with offset commands should do what you need. I know other folks have made Letter outputs, so maybe someone else reading this will give you the parameters. Also make sure that the IDENT_WIDTH is something sensible for the identifiers you are using. Incidentally, you need to subscribe to this mailing list to post to it, please see: http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/discuss Geoff.
