Title: Can I batch output the graph of Secondary Structure in VMD Timeline analysis?
ThreadText: # Can I batch output the graph of Secondary Structure in VMD Timeline analysis?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-25)
  
  I am using the [VMD software](https://www-s.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/), and use "Extension - Analysis - Timeline - Calculate - Calc. Sec. Structure" to visualise the secondary structure of my trajectories.
  
  1. I need to screenshot to get the graph. Can I output it using a build-in command instead?
  2. I have hundreds of trajectories to analyse. Each time, I need "File - Write data file" to output the raw STRIDE code. Can I use some script to enable batch output?
