[gmx-users] The dihedral angles from 192 elements ??

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Lin,

This is manual stuff...:

http://www.gromacs.org/documentation/reference/online/g_angle.html

So the first lines answer your question:
g_angle computes the angle distribution for a number of angles or
dihedrals. This way you can check whether your simulation is correct.
With option -ov you can plot the average angle of a group of angles as
a function of time.

Which clearly (!) states that your first plot is a distribution of all
angles measured over time for each dihedral in your set (piled
together) and that your second plot calculates an average for your set
of dihedrals for each frame.
