NAME
g_dist - calculates the distances between the centers of mass of two
groups
VERSION 4.0.1
SYNOPSIS
g_dist -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx -o dist.xvg -lt
lifetime.xvg -[no]h -nice int -b time -e time -dt time -[no]xvgr -dist
real
DESCRIPTION
g_dist can calculate the distance between the centers of mass of two
groups of atoms as a function of time. The total distance and its x, y
and z components are plotted.
Or when -dist is set, print all the atoms in group 2 that are closer
than a certain distance to the center of mass of group 1.
With options -lt and -dist the number of contacts of all atoms in
group 2 that are closer than a certain distance to the center of mass
of group 1 are plotted as a function of the time that the contact was
continously present.
Other programs that calculate distances are g_mindist and g_bond.
