NAME
     gmx-saxs-legacy - Compute small angle X-ray scattering spectra

SYNOPSIS
	gmx saxs-legacy [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]]
		     [-n [<.ndx>]] [-d [<.dat>]] [-sq [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>]
		     [-e <time>] [-dt <time>] [-xvg <enum>] [-ng <int>]
		     [-startq <real>] [-endq <real>] [-energy <real>]

DESCRIPTION
     gmx  saxs-legacy  calculates  SAXS structure factors for given index groups
     based on Cromer's method.	Both topology and trajectory files are required.

OPTIONS
     Options to specify input files:

     -f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] (traj.xtc)
	    Trajectory: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng h5md

     -s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] (topol.tpr)
	    Structure+mass(db): tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent

     -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
	    Index file

     -d [<.dat>] (sfactor.dat) (Optional)
	    Generic data file

     Options to specify output files:

     -sq [<.xvg>] (sq.xvg)
	    xvgr/xmgr 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)

     -xvg <enum> (xmgrace)
	    xvg plot formatting: xmgrace, xmgr, none

     -ng <int> (1)
	    Number of groups to compute SAXS

     -startq <real> (0)
	    Starting q (1/nm)

     -endq <real> (60)
	    Ending q (1/nm)

     -energy <real> (12)
	    Energy of the incoming X-ray (keV)
