[gmx-users] Re: g_chi and torsional angles

[Dongsheng Zhang]

Sandor,

We can't say that the calculation of Phi ans Psi in g_chi is wrong
because the definition of Psi and Phi in g_chi command is different from
that in g_rama command. I have checked the the calculation in g_chi by
hand using my own code and it is correct as long as using that
definition (check the help menu).  However, I think it is nice to keep
the definition consistent if David can make a change in the coming
version.
