NAME

       gmx-view - View a trajectory on an X-Windows terminal

SYNOPSIS

          gmx view [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr>]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-b <time>]
                   [-e <time>] [-dt <time>]

DESCRIPTION

       gmx  view 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.

OPTIONS

       Options to specify input files:

       -f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] (traj.xtc)
              Trajectory: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng

       -s [<.tpr>] (topol.tpr)
              Portable xdr run input file

       -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
              Index file

       Other options:

       -b <time> (0)
              Time of first frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)

       -e <time> (0)
              Time of last frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)

       -dt <time> (0)
              Only use frame when t MOD dt = first time (default unit ps)

KNOWN ISSUES

       • Balls option does not work

       • Some times dumps core without a good reason
