13 gmx view is the GROMACS trajectory viewer. This program reads a trajec‐
14 tory file, a run input file and an index file and plots a 3D structure
15 of your molecule on your standard X Window screen. No need for a high
16 end graphics workstation, it even works on Monochrome screens.
17
18 The following features have been implemented: 3D view, rotation, trans‐
19 lation and scaling of your molecule(s), labels on atoms, animation of
20 trajectories, hardcopy in PostScript format, user defined atom-filters
21 runs on MIT-X (real X), open windows and motif, user friendly menus,
22 option to remove periodicity, option to show computational box.
23
24 Some of the more common X command line options can be used: -bg, -fg
25 change colors, -font fontname changes the font.
26
28 Options to specify input files:
29
30 -f [<.xtc/.trr/…>] (traj.xtc)
31 Trajectory: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng
32
33 -s [<.tpr>] (topol.tpr)
34 Portable xdr run input file
35
36 -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
37 Index file
38
39 Other options:
40
41 -b <time> (0)
42 Time of first frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)
43
44 -e <time> (0)
45 Time of last frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)
46
47 -dt <time> (0)
48 Only use frame when t MOD dt = first time (default unit ps)
