Description

g_dist can calculate the distance between the centers of mass of two groups of atoms as a function of time. The total distance and its x, y and z components are plotted.

Or when -dist is set, print all the atoms in group 2 that are closer than a certain distance to the center of mass of group 1.

Other programs that calculate distances are g_mindist and g_bond.
