Hi Senthil,
Unfortunately, you cannot visualize the ClusterMerging.txt by xmgrace. Each
line of this file records one step of merging. The first number should be a
negative number, which represents the newly formed node. The next two
numbers are the nodes to be merged, if a number is positive, that is the
frame number in the trajectory. The fourth number is distance between the
two nodes. The next two numbers are the DBI and pSF values for current
clustering. The DBI value will not be calculated if cluster number is larger
than 50. If you want to plot the cluster # vs. DBI or pSF, you can get the
values from the ClusterMerging.txt file without run multiple clustering
processes.
If you use sieve, the cluster merging is executed only in the first scan,
i.e. 1 frame out of every 10 frames in your case. The rest of frames will be
assigned to the closest cluster out of the 5 clusters formed in the first
scan. Thus, information in the ClusterMerging.txt would be irrelevant to the
entire trajectory.
Hope this helps,
Jianyin Shao
