## Function

Draw RNA secondary structures

## Description

This is a port of the Vienna RNA package program RNAplot.

It reads the output of ovrnafold (RNA sequences and structures) and produces drawings of the secondary structure graph.

## Algorithm

The coordinates are produced using either E. Bruccoleri's naview routines, or a simple radial layout method.

See the original documentation for the Vienna RNA package http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/~ivo/RNA/

## Usage

Here is a sample session with ovrnaplot

    % ovrnaplot
    Draw RNA secondary structures
    Vienna RNAfold output file: ../ovrnafold-keep/rna1.ovrnafold
    Vienna RNAfold output file [rna1.ovrnaplot]:
