It= -oh output of gmx gangle which writes the histogram of 'angleS' not the
angle that i have already defined.( THE beta angle= angle between HOH plane
of water molecules and surface plane , THE alpha angke= angle between OH of
water molecules and surface plane. The surface is ZnS surface(i have an
slab of ZnS) not protein.

Thank you.

I think gromacs can do it. But first i should define all O-H and in box
then calculate the angle between .... for ALPHA
Maybe should define H-O-H plane then.... for BETA).

I found the documentation of gmx gangle gmx angle so complicated and
confusing. I don't know how can i hsethem priperly...
