DESCRIPTION

       g_cluster  can  cluster  structures  with  several  different  methods.
       Distances  between  structures  can  be determined from a trajectory or
       read from an XPM matrix file with the  -dm option.  RMS deviation after
       fitting  or  RMS deviation of atom-pair distances can be used to define
       the distance between structures.

       single linkage: add a structure to a cluster when its distance  to  any
       element of the cluster is less than  cutoff.

       Jarvis  Patrick: add a structure to a cluster when this structure and a
       structure in the cluster have each other as neighbors and they  have  a
       least   P  neighbors  in common. The neighbors of a structure are the M
       closest structures or all structures within  cutoff.

       Monte Carlo: reorder the RMSD matrix using Monte Carlo.

       diagonalization: diagonalize the RMSD matrix.

       gromos: use algorithm as described in Daura  et  al.   (  Angew.  Chem.
       Int.  Ed.   1999,   38,  pp  236-240).  Count number of neighbors using
       cut-off, take structure with largest number of neighbors with  all  its
       neighbors as cluster and eleminate it from the pool of clusters. Repeat
       for remaining structures in pool.

       When the clustering algorithm assigns each  structure  to  exactly  one
       cluster  (single  linkage,  Jarvis Patrick and gromos) and a trajectory
       file is supplied, the structure with the smallest average  distance  to
       the  others or the average structure or all structures for each cluster
       will be written to a trajectory  file.  When  writing  all  structures,
       separate numbered files are made for each cluster.

       Two output files are always written:

         -o  writes the RMSD values in the upper left half of the matrix and a
       graphical depiction of the  clusters  in  the  lower  right  half  When
       -minstruct = 1 the graphical depiction is black when two structures are
       in the same cluster.  When  -minstruct  1 different colors will be used
       for each cluster.

         -g  writes information on the options used and a detailed list of all
       clusters and their members.

       Additionally, a number of optional output files can be written:

        -dist writes the RMSD distribution.

        -ev writes the eigenvectors of the RMSD matrix diagonalization.

        -sz writes the cluster sizes.

        -tr writes a matrix of the number transitions between cluster pairs.

        -ntr writes the total number of transitions to or from each cluster.

        -clid writes the cluster number as a function of time.

        -cl writes average (with option  -av) or  central  structure  of  each
       cluster  or  writes  numbered files with cluster members for a selected
       set of clusters (with option  -wcl, depends on  -nst and  -rmsmin).
