[gmx-users] g_angle between center of mass of three groups

[jagannath mondal]

Thanks, But I guess the g_angle -ov option will give me an average angle for many different groups. 
That will not be same as the angle between center of masses of different group .
For example If I have a molecule CH3-CH2-CH3, g_angle -ov can give me an average over angle  H-C-H and C-C-C .  But what I want is the angle CH3-CH2-CH3 .

So, I was wondering whether you can clarify a bit on how I can get it.
Thanks
Jagannath

But, I wanted to know whether it is possible to calculate angle between center of masses of three groups or not . I am not sure whether g_angle can calculate the angle between center of masses of three groups.    If not, In that case,  can anyone suggest suggest any other alternative ?

You should start by reading g_angle -h and g_sgangle -h. g_angle will calculate the average over a group of angles, which is similar to what you want.
