NAME
       gmx-spol	 -  Analyze solvent dipole orientation and polarization	around
       solutes

SYNOPSIS
	  gmx spol [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr>]]	[-n [<.ndx>]]
		   [-o [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>] [-dt <time>] [-[no]w]
		   [-xvg <enum>] [-[no]com] [-refat <int>] [-rmin <real>]
		   [-rmax <real>] [-dip	<real>]	[-bw <real>]

DESCRIPTION
       gmx spol	analyzes dipoles around	a solute; it is	especially useful  for
       polarizable water. A group of reference atoms, or a center of mass ref-
       erence (option -com) and	a group	of solvent atoms is required. The pro-
       gram splits the group of	solvent	atoms into molecules. For each solvent
       molecule	 the distance to the closest atom in reference group or	to the
       COM is determined.  A cumulative	distribution  of  these	 distances  is
       plotted.	  For  each distance between -rmin and -rmax the inner product
       of the distance vector and the dipole of	the solvent molecule is	deter-
       mined.  For solvent molecules with net charge (ions), the net charge of
       the ion is subtracted evenly from all atoms in the  selection  of  each
       ion.   The  average of these dipole components is printed.  The same is
       done for	the polarization, where	the average dipole is subtracted  from
       the  instantaneous  dipole.  The	magnitude of the average dipole	is set
       with the	option -dip, the direction is defined by the vector  from  the
       first  atom  in	the selected solvent group to the midpoint between the
       second and the third atom.
