Parameters:

• molid (int) – Molecule ID to read data into
• filetype (str) – File type of coordinate data
• filename (str) – Path to coordinate data
• first (int) – First frame to read. Defaults to 0 (first frame)
• last (int) – Last frame to read, or -1 for the end. Defaults to -1
• stride (int) – Frame stride. Defaults to 1 (read all frames)
• waitfor (int) – Number of frames to load before returning. Defaults to 1, then loads asyncronously in background. Set to -1 to load all frames
• volsets (list of int) – Indices of volumetric datasets to read in from the file. Invalid indices will be ignored.
