A computer program is described that is designed to make the visual inspection of classical plots of protein properties (e.g. hydrophobicity, volume, etc.) as a function of sequence easier. An algorithm written in BASIC language has been used in order to generate a pseudo-tridimensional representation of the desired protein property. The data utilized by the program are arithmetic averages of the selected parameter obtained by using a five-residue window as a shuttle along the given amino acid sequence.
