NAME
       gmx-gyrate - Calculate radius of	gyration of a molecule

SYNOPSIS
	  gmx gyrate [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s	[<.tpr/.gro/...>]] [-n [<.ndx>]]
		     [-o [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>] [-dt	<time>]
		     [-tu <enum>] [-fgroup <selection>]	[-xvg <enum>]
		     [-[no]rmpbc] [-sf <file>] [-selrpos <enum>]
		     [-seltype <enum>] [-sel <selection>] [-mode <enum>]

DESCRIPTION
       gmx  gyrate 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 gmx gyrate-legacy.
