The text output contains:
(a) Individual methods' predictions for each secondary structure type (beta-turn [T], beta-strand [B] and alpha-helix [H]).
(b) Histograms (shown as asterisks) of the number of methods assigning each residue to a given secondary structure type.

4.2 Graphics Output

The Joint Prediction Histogram of the results of the six Secondary Structure Prediction Methods is represented by the SecStrChart Java Applet. The most probable structures , predicted by three or more methods, are painted blue in the joint prediction histograms.
