DESCRIPTION
g_angle computes the angle distribution for a number of angles or dihedrals.
With option -ov, you can plot the average angle of a group of angles as a function of time. With the
-all option, the first graph is the average and the rest are the individual angles.
With the -of option, g_angle also calculates the fraction of trans dihedrals (only for dihedrals) as
function of time, but this is probably only fun for a select few.
With option -oc, a dihedral correlation function is calculated.
It should be noted that the index file must contain atom triplets for angles or atom quadruplets for
dihedrals. If this is not the case, the program will crash.
With option -or, a trajectory file is dumped containing cos and sin of selected dihedral angles, which
subsequently can be used as input for a principal components analysis using g_covar.
Option -ot plots when transitions occur between dihedral rotamers of multiplicity 3 and -oh records a
histogram of the times between such transitions, assuming the input trajectory frames are equally spaced
in time.

-nice int 19
Set the nicelevel
-b time 0
First frame (ps) to read from trajectory
-e time 0
Last frame (ps) to read from trajectory
-dt time 0
Only use frame when t MOD dt = first time (ps)
-[no]wno
View output .xvg, .xpm, .eps and .pdb files
-xvg enum xmgrace
xvg plot formatting: xmgrace, xmgr or none
-type enum angle
Type of angle to analyse: angle, dihedral, improper or ryckaert-bellemans
-[no]allno
Plot all angles separately in the averages file, in the order of appearance in the index file.
-binwidth real 1
binwidth (degrees) for calculating the distribution
-[no]periodicyes
Print dihedral angles modulo 360 degrees
-[no]chandlerno
Use Chandler correlation function (N[trans] = 1, N[gauche] = 0) rather than cosine correlation function.
Trans is defined as phi -60 or phi 60.
-[no]avercorrno
Average the correlation functions for the individual angles/dihedrals
-acflen int -1
Length of the ACF, default is half the number of frames
-[no]normalizeyes
Normalize ACF
-P enum 0
Order of Legendre polynomial for ACF (0 indicates none): 0, 1, 2 or 3
-fitfn enum none
Fit function: none, exp, aexp, exp_exp, vac, exp5, exp7, exp9 or erffit
-ncskip int 0
Skip this many points in the output file of correlation functions
-beginfit real 0
Time where to begin the exponential fit of the correlation function
-endfit real -1
Time where to end the exponential fit of the correlation function, -1 is until the end
KNOWN PROBLEMS
- Counting transitions only works for dihedrals with multiplicity 3
