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)
              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)

KNOWN ISSUES

       • Balls option does not work

       • Some times dumps core without a good reason
