NAME

7       atoms

SYNOPSIS

10          gmx principal [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]]

12                       [-a3 [<.xvg>]] [-om [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>]
13                       [-dt <time>] [-tu <enum>] [-[no]w] [-xvg <enum>]

DESCRIPTION

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