Description
gmxtrajectory 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.
