GMX-VIEW(1) GROMACS GMX-VIEW(1)

gmx-view - View a trajectory on an X-Windows terminal

gmx view [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr>]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-b <time>]
         [-e <time>] [-dt <time>]


gmx view is the GROMACS trajectory viewer. This program reads a trajectory file, a run input file and an index file and plots a 3D structure of your molecule on your standard X Window screen. No need for a high end graphics workstation, it even works on Monochrome screens.

The following features have been implemented: 3D view, rotation, translation and scaling of your molecule(s), labels on atoms, animation of trajectories, hardcopy in PostScript format, user defined atom-filters runs on MIT-X (real X), open windows and motif, user friendly menus, option to remove periodicity, option to show computational box.

Some of the more common X command line options can be used: -bg, -fg change colors, -font fontname changes the font.

Options to specify input files:
-f [<.xtc/.trr/…>] (traj.xtc)
Trajectory: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng
-s [<.tpr>] (topol.tpr)
Portable xdr run input file
-n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
Index file

Other options:

-b <time> (0)
Time of first frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)
-e <time> (0)
Time of last frame to read from trajectory (default unit ps)
-dt <time> (0)
Only use frame when t MOD dt = first time (default unit ps)

  • Balls option does not work
  • Some times dumps core without a good reason
