how to avoid recalculating all contacts every time

[JlmrCompBio]

I am using the Protein class and it works pretty well. But I have a question: I see that it stores all results in directories (e.g. GetContacts/ ) and os on. But then, can I somehow read the results and proceed with analysis instead of recalculating them every time again and again?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks for using AlloViz!

Indeed, the results are stored in directories, and when you setup a new Protein object and use as path a directory that you have previously used for some calculations (that contains a data folder with GetContacts, etc... in it), the saved files will be identified and reused. However, beware that you aren't using the same path for different Proteins, as you may encounter unexpected outcomes.
