NAME

gmx-trajectory - Print coordinates, velocities, and/or forces for selections

SYNOPSIS

gmx trajectory [ -f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] ] [ -s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] ]
[ -n [<.ndx>] ] [ -ox [<.xvg>] ] [ -ov [<.xvg>] ]
[ -of [<.xvg>] ] [ -b <time> ] [ -e <time> ] [ -dt <time> ]
[ -tu <enum> ] [ -fgroup <selection> ] [ -xvg <enum> ]
[ -[no]rmpbc ] [ -[no]pbc ] [ -sf <file> ] [ -selrpos <enum> ]
[ -seltype <enum> ] [ -select <selection> ] [ -[no]x ]
[ -[no]y ] [ -[no]z ] [ -[no]len ]

DESCRIPTION

gmx trajectory plots coordinates, velocities, and/or forces for provided selections. By default, the X, Y, and Z components for the requested vectors are plotted, but specifying one or more of -len , -x , -y , and -z overrides this.

For dynamic selections, currently the values are written out for all positions that the selection could select.

OPTIONS

Options to specify input files:
-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] (traj.xtc) (Optional)

Input trajectory or single configuration: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng

-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] (topol.tpr) (Optional)

Input structure: tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent

-n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)

Extra index groups

Options to specify output files:
-ox [<.xvg>] (coord.xvg) (Optional)

Coordinates for each position as a function of time

-ov [<.xvg>] (veloc.xvg) (Optional)

Velocities for each position as a function of time

-of [<.xvg>] (force.xvg) (Optional)

Forces for each position as a function of time

Other options:
-b <time> (0)

First frame (ps) to read from trajectory

-e <time> (0)

Last frame (ps) to read from trajectory

-dt <time> (0)

Only use frame if t MOD dt == first time (ps)

-tu <enum> (ps)

Unit for time values: fs, ps, ns, us, ms, s

-fgroup <selection>

Atoms stored in the trajectory file (if not set, assume first N atoms)
