DESCRIPTION
g_covar calculates and diagonalizes the (mass-weighted) covariance matrix. All structures are fitted to the structure in the structure file. When this is not a run input file periodicity will not be taken into account. When the fit and analysis groups are identical and the analysis is non mass-weighted, the fit will also be non mass-weighted. The eigenvectors are written to a trajectory file ( -v ). When the same atoms are used for the fit and the covariance analysis, the reference structure for the fit is written first with t=-1. The average (or reference when -ref is used) structure is written with t=0, the eigenvectors are written as frames with the eigenvector number as timestamp. The eigenvectors can be analyzed with g_anaeig Option -ascii writes the whole covariance matrix to an ASCII file. The order of the elements is: x1x1, x1y1, x1z1, x1x2, ... Option -xpm writes the whole covariance matrix to an xpm file. Option -xpma writes the atomic covariance matrix to an xpm file, i.e. for each atom pair the sum of the xx, yy and zz covariances is written.
