gmx filter¶
Synopsis¶
gmx filter [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-ol [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-oh [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>] [-dt <time>] [-[no]w] [-nf <int>] [-[no]all] [-[no]nojump] [-[no]fit]
Description¶
gmx filter
performs frequency filtering on a trajectory.
The filter shape is cos(pi t/A) + 1 from -A to +A, where A is given
by the option -nf
times the time step in the input trajectory.
This filter reduces fluctuations with period A by 85%, with period
2*A by 50% and with period 3*A by 17% for low-pass filtering.
Both a low-pass and high-pass filtered trajectory can be written.
Option -ol
writes a low-pass filtered trajectory.
A frame is written every -nf
input frames.
This ratio of filter length and output interval ensures a good
suppression of aliasing of high-frequency motion, which is useful for
making smooth movies. Also averages of properties which are linear
in the coordinates are preserved, since all input frames are weighted
equally in the output.
When all frames are needed, use the -all
option.
Option -oh
writes a high-pass filtered trajectory.
The high-pass filtered coordinates are added to the coordinates
from the structure file. When using high-pass filtering use -fit
or make sure you use a trajectory that has been fitted on
the coordinates in the structure file.
Options¶
