21 gmx traj plots coordinates, velocities, forces and/or the box. With
22 -com the coordinates, velocities and forces are calculated for the cen‐
23 ter of mass of each group. When -mol is set, the numbers in the index
24 file are interpreted as molecule numbers and the same procedure as with
25 -com is used for each molecule.
26 Option -ot plots the temperature of each group, provided velocities are
28 present in the trajectory file. No corrections are made for con‐
29 strained degrees of freedom! This implies -com.
30 Options -ekt and -ekr plot the translational and rotational kinetic en‐
32 ergy of each group, provided velocities are present in the trajectory
33 file. This implies -com.
34 Options -cv and -cf write the average velocities and average forces as
36 temperature factors to a .pdb file with the average coordinates or the
37 coordinates at -ctime. The temperature factors are scaled such that
38 the maximum is 10. The scaling can be changed with the option -scale.
39 To get the velocities or forces of one frame set both -b and -e to the
40 time of desired frame. When averaging over frames you might need to use
41 the -nojump option to obtain the correct average coordinates. If you
42 select either of these option the average force and velocity for each
43 atom are written to an .xvg file as well (specified with -av or -af).
44 Option -vd computes a velocity distribution, i.e. the norm of the vec‐
46 tor is plotted. In addition in the same graph the kinetic energy dis‐
47 tribution is given.
48 See gmx trajectory for plotting similar data for selections.
