DESCRIPTION

       This tool extracts dye dynamics from trajectory files.  Currently, R and kappa2 between dyes is extracted
       for  (F)RET simulations with assumed dipolar coupling as in the Foerster equation.  It further allows the
       calculation of R(t) and kappa2(t), R and kappa2 histograms and averages, as  well  as  the  instantaneous
       FRET  efficiency E(t) for a specified Foerster radius R_0 (switch  -R0).  The input dyes have to be whole
       (see res and mol pbc options in  trjconv).  The dye transition dipole moment has  to  be  defined  by  at
       least  a  single atom pair, however multiple atom pairs can be provided in the index file. The distance R
       is calculated on the basis of the COMs  of  the  given  atom  pairs.   The   -pbcdist  option  calculates
       distances  to  the nearest periodic image instead to the distance in the box. This works however only,for
       periodic boundaries in all 3 dimensions.  The  -norm option (area-) normalizes the histograms.
