gmx-gyrate - Calculate radius of gyration of a molecule

       2025, GROMACS development team

2025.0                                            Feb 10, 2025                                     GMX-GYRATE(1)

gmxgyrate  computes the radius of gyration of a molecule and the radii of gyration about the x-, y- and
       z-axes, as a function of time. The atoms are explicitly mass weighted.

       The axis components corresponds to the mass-weighted root-mean-square of the radii components  orthogonal
       to each axis, for example:

       Rg(x) = sqrt((sum_i w_i (R_i(y)^2 + R_i(z)^2))/(sum_i w_i)).

       where w_i is the weight value in the given situation (mass, charge, unit)

       Note  that  this is a new implementation of the gyrate utility added in GROMACS 2024. If you need the old
       one, use gmxgyrate-legacy.
