GMX-TRAJECTORY(1) GROMACS GMX-TRAJECTORY(1)

gmx-trajectory - Print coordinates, velocities, and/or forces for selections

gmx trajectory [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]]
             [-n [<.ndx>]] [-ox [<.xvg>]] [-ov [<.xvg>]]
             [-of [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>] [-dt <time>]
             [-tu <enum>] [-fgroup <selection>] [-xvg <enum>]
             [-[no]rmpbc] [-[no]pbc] [-sf <file>] [-selrpos <enum>]
             [-seltype <enum>] [-select <selection>] [-[no]x]
             [-[no]y] [-[no]z] [-[no]len]


gmx trajectory plots coordinates, velocities, and/or forces for provided selections. By default, the X, Y, and Z components for the requested vectors are plotted, but specifying one or more of -len, -x, -y, and -z overrides this.

For dynamic selections, currently the values are written out for all positions that the selection could select.

Options to specify input files:

Input trajectory or single configuration: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng
Input structure: tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent
Extra index groups

Options to specify output files:

Coordinates for each position as a function of time
Velocities for each position as a function of time
Forces for each position as a function of time

Other options:

First frame (ps) to read from trajectory
Last frame (ps) to read from trajectory
Only use frame if t MOD dt == first time (ps)
Unit for time values: fs, ps, ns, us, ms, s
Atoms stored in the trajectory file (if not set, assume first N atoms)
Plot formatting: xmgrace, xmgr, none
-[no]rmpbc (yes)
Make molecules whole for each frame
-[no]pbc (yes)
Use periodic boundary conditions for distance calculation
Provide selections from files
Selection reference positions: atom, res_com, res_cog, mol_com, mol_cog, whole_res_com, whole_res_cog, whole_mol_com, whole_mol_cog, part_res_com, part_res_cog, part_mol_com, part_mol_cog, dyn_res_com, dyn_res_cog, dyn_mol_com, dyn_mol_cog
Default selection output positions: atom, res_com, res_cog, mol_com, mol_cog, whole_res_com, whole_res_cog, whole_mol_com, whole_mol_cog, part_res_com, part_res_cog, part_mol_com, part_mol_cog, dyn_res_com, dyn_res_cog, dyn_mol_com, dyn_mol_cog
Selections to analyze
-[no]x (yes)
Plot X component
-[no]y (yes)
Plot Y component
-[no]z (yes)
Plot Z component
-[no]len (no)
Plot vector length
