 9  ============= 
10   
11  Simple client to transmit Tcl commands to a server running in `VMD`_. 
12   
13  VMD and the server run locally and can be started from the module. Once the 
14  server is running, one can use :class:`vmd.client` to communicate with the server 
15  process via a local socket. 
16   
17  Example 
18  ------- 
19   
20  Start a VMD server and connect:: 
21   
22    from vmd.control import * 
23    VMD = server() 
24    VMD.command('molecule new load 1AKE') 
25   
26  or start an interactive `Tcl`_ session connected to a running VMD  
27  server process:: 
28   
29    interactive(host) 
30    asyncore.loop()      # necessary 
31   
32  See `VMD Tcl Text Commands`_ for all available commands.
