NAME

       g_filter  -  frequency  filters  trajectories, useful for making smooth
       movies

       VERSION 4.0.1

SYNOPSIS

       g_filter -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr  -n  index.ndx  -ol  lowpass.xtc  -oh
       highpass.xtc  -[no]h  -nice int -b time -e time -dt time -[no]w -nf int
       -[no]all -[no]nojump -[no]fit

DESCRIPTION

       g_filter performs frequency filtering  on  a  trajectory.   The  filter
       shape  is cos(pi t/A) + 1 from -A to +A, where A is given by the option
       -nf times the time step in the input trajectory.  This  filter  reduces
       fluctuations  with  period  A  by  85%, with period 2*A by 50% and with
       period 3*A  by  17%  for  low-pass  filtering.   Both  a  low-pass  and
       high-pass filtered trajectory can be written.

       Option   -ol writes a low-pass filtered trajectory.  A frame is written
       every  nf input  frames.   This  ratio  of  filter  length  and  output
       interval  ensures  a  good  suppression  of  aliasing of high-frequency
       motion, which is useful for making  smooth  movies.  Also  averages  of
       properties which are linear in the coordinates are preserved, since all
       input frames are weighted equally in the output.  When all  frames  are
       needed, use the  -all option.

       Option   -oh  writes  a  high-pass  filtered trajectory.  The high-pass
       filtered coordinates are added to the coordinates  from  the  structure
       file.  When  using high-pass filtering use  -fit or make sure you use a
       trajectory which has been fitted on the coordinates  in  the  structure
       file.
