NAME
       gmx-sorient - Analyze solvent orientation around	solutes

		      [-o [<.xvg>]] [-no [<.xvg>]] [-ro	[<.xvg>]]
		      [-co [<.xvg>]] [-rc [<.xvg>]] [-b	<time>]	[-e <time>]
		      [-dt <time>] [-[no]w] [-xvg <enum>] [-[no]com] [-[no]v23]
		      [-rmin <real>] [-rmax <real>] [-cbin <real>]
		      [-rbin <real>] [-[no]pbc]

DESCRIPTION
       gmx sorient analyzes solvent orientation	around solutes.	 It calculates
       two  angles  between the	vector from one	or more	reference positions to
       the first atom of each solvent molecule:

	   theta_1: the angle with the	vector from the	first atom of the sol-
	    vent molecule to the midpoint between atoms	2 and 3.

	   theta_2: the angle with the	normal of the solvent  plane,  defined
	    by	the same three atoms, or, when the option -v23 is set, the an-
	    gle	with the vector	between	atoms 2	and 3.

       The reference can be a set of atoms or the center of mass of a  set  of
       atoms. The group	of solvent atoms should	consist	of 3 atoms per solvent
       molecule.   Only	 solvent molecules between -rmin and -rmax are consid-
       ered for	-o and -no each	frame.

       -o: distribution	of cos(theta_1)	for rmin<=r<=rmax.

       -no: distribution of cos(theta_2) for rmin<=r<=rmax.

       -ro: <cos(theta_1)> and <3cos(^2theta_2)-1> as a	function of  the  dis-
       tance.

       -co:   the  sum	over  all  solvent  molecules  within  distance	 r  of
       cos(theta_1) and	3cos(^2(theta_2)-1) as a function of r.

       -rc: the	distribution of	the solvent molecules as a function of r
