[gmx-users] How to define a vector for gangle command

[delara aghaie]

  Dear Justin
Many thanks for your reply.
My problem is not with the z axis. I use -g2 z for that as you mentioned.
I do not know how to define a vector for P-N vector.
Help me on this please.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Delara

Use gmx gangle -g2 z
