DESCRIPTION

       g_angle  computes  the  angle  distribution  for  a number of angles or
       dihedrals. This way you can check whether your simulation  is  correct.
       With  option -ov you can plot the average angle of a group of angles as
       a function of time. With  the  -all  option  the  first  graph  is  the
       average, the rest are the individual angles.

       With  the  -of  option  g_angle  also  calculates the fraction of trans
       dihedrals (only for  dihedrals)  as  function  of  time,  but  this  is
       probably only fun for a selected few.

       With option -oc a dihedral correlation function is calculated.

       It  should  be noted that the indexfile should contain atom-triples for
       angles or atom-quadruplets for dihedrals.  If this is not the case, the
       program will crash.

       With  option   -or a trajectory file is dumped containing cos andsin of
       selected dihedral angles which subsequently can be used as input for  a
       PCA analysis using  g_covar.

       xmgrace program

       -type enum angle
        Type  of  angle  to   analyse:    angle,    dihedral,    improper   or
       ryckaert-bellemans

       -[no]allno

       -endfit real -1
        Time where to end the exponential fit of the correlation function,  -1
       is till the end

KNOWN PROBLEMS

       - Counting transitions only works for dihedrals with multiplicity 3
