NAME

       ngmx - displays a trajectory

       VERSION 4.0.1

SYNOPSIS

       ngmx  -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx -[no]h -nice int -b time -e
       time -dt time

DESCRIPTION

       ngmx is the Gromacs trajectory viewer. This program reads a  trajectory
       file,  a  run  input file and an index file and plots a 3D structure of
       your molecule on your standard X Window screen. No need for a high  end
       graphics workstation, it even works on Monochrome screens.

       The  following  features  have  been  implemented:  3D  view, rotation,
       translation and scaling of your molecule(s), labels on atoms, animation
       of   trajectories,   hardcopy   in   PostScript  format,  user  defined
       atom-filters runs on MIT-X (real  X),  open  windows  and  motif,  user
       friendly   menus,   option   to  remove  periodicity,  option  to  show
       computational box.

       Some of the more common X command line options can be used:

       -bg, -fg change colors, -font fontname, changes the font.
