NAME

       g_bond - calculates distances between atoms

       VERSION 4.0.1

SYNOPSIS

       g_bond  -f traj.xtc -n index.ndx -s topol.tpr -o bonds.xvg -l bonds.log
       -d distance.xvg -[no]h -nice int  -b  time  -e  time  -dt  time  -[no]w
       -[no]xvgr -blen real -tol real -[no]aver -[no]averdist

DESCRIPTION

       g_bond  makes a distribution of bond lengths. If all is well a gaussian
       distribution should be made when using a harmonic potential.  bonds are
       read  from  a  single group in the index file in order i1-j1 i2-j2 thru
       in-jn.

        -tol gives the half-width of the distribution as  a  fraction  of  the
       bondlength ( -blen). That means, for a bond of 0.2 a tol of 0.1 gives a
       distribution from 0.18 to 0.22.

       Option  -d plots all  the  distances  as  a  function  of  time.   This
       requires a structure file for the atom and residue names in the output.
       If however the option  -averdist is given (as well or  separately)  the
       average bond length is plotted instead.
