Synopsis#
gmx principal [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-a1 [<.xvg>]] [-a2 [<.xvg>]] [-a3 [<.xvg>]] [-om [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>] [-dt <time>] [-tu <enum>] [-[no]w] [-xvg <enum>] [-[no]foo]
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.
