NAME

       g_spol  -  analyzes  solvent dipole orientation and polarization around
       solutes

DESCRIPTION

       g_spol analyzes dipoles around a solute; it is  especially  useful  for
       polarizable  water.  A  group  of  reference atoms, or a center of mass
       reference (option  -com) and a group of solvent atoms is required.  The
       program  splits  the  group  of  solvent atoms into molecules. For each
       solvent molecule the distance to the closest atom in reference group or
       to the COM is determined.  A cumulative distribution of these distances
       is plotted.  For each distance between   -rmin  and   -rmax  the  inner
       product  of  the distance vector and the dipole of the solvent molecule
       is determined.  The average of these dipole components is printed.  The
       same  is  done  for  the  polarization,  where  the  average  dipole is
       subtracted from the instantaneous dipole. The magnitude of the  average
       dipole  is  set  with the option  -dip, the direction is defined by the
       vector from the first  atom  in  the  selected  solvent  group  to  the
       midpoint between the second and the third atom.
