Description
gmx principal calculates the three principal axes of inertia for a group of atoms. NOTE: Old versions of Gromacs wrote the output data in a strange transposed way. As of Gromacs-5.0, the output file paxis1.dat contains the x/y/z components of the first (major) principal axis for each frame, and similarly for the middle and minor axes in paxis2.dat and paxis3.dat .
