[gmx-users] which tool to use a measure a user-defined angle in a traj

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Arneh,

I think you're out of luck here. However, this is an excellent
exercise to get started with writing custom made analysis tools :)
Alternatively, you could output the coordinates for the C and O using
g_traj and use a script to calculate the angles with the z-axis, in
case it's a single bond you're interested in.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
