[gmx-users] g_helixorient issue

[Anirban Ghosh]

Hi ALL,

I am trying to find out the tilt of a helix during a simulation. I am using
g_helixorient with the -otilt option. However I am getting the following
output, which when plotted using xmgrace, gives a straight along y=0.

How to visualize this file properly? Why is the .xvg file written in this
manner? Any suggestion is welcome.
