Analysis Commands

Analyses in CPPTRAJ operate on data sets which have been generated by Actions in a prior Run or read in with a readdata command.

Unlike ptraj, Analysis commands in CPPTRAJ do not need to be prefaced with ’analysis’. The exception to this is ’analyze matrix’ in order to differentiate it from the matrix Action command; users are encouraged to use the new command diagmatrix instead.

Like Actions, when an Analysis command is issued it is by default added to the Analysis queue and is not executed until after trajectory processing is completed; a complete list of data sets available for analysis is shown after trajectory processing (prefaced by ’DATASETS’) or can be shown with the ’list dataset’ command. Analyses can also be executed immediately via the runanalysis command.

Note that for Analysis commands that use COORDS data sets, if no COORDS data set is specified then a default one will be automatically created from frames read in by trajin commands.
