32 \&\fB g_covar\fR calculates and diagonalizes the (mass\-weighted)
34 \&All structures are fitted to the structure in the structure file.
35 \&When this is not a run input file periodicity will not be taken into
36 \&account. When the fit and analysis groups are identical and the analysis
37 \&is non mass\-weighted, the fit will also be non mass\-weighted.
41 \&The eigenvectors are written to a trajectory file (\fB \-v\fR).
42 \&When the same atoms are used for the fit and the covariance analysis,
43 \&the reference structure for the fit is written first with t=\-1.
44 \&The average (or reference when \fB \-ref\fR is used) structure is
45 \&written with t=0, the eigenvectors
46 \&are written as frames with the eigenvector number as timestamp.
50 \&The eigenvectors can be analyzed with \fB g_anaeig\fR.
54 \&Option \fB \-ascii\fR writes the whole covariance matrix to
55 \&an ASCII file. The order of the elements is: x1x1, x1y1, x1z1, x1x2, ...
59 \&Option \fB \-xpm\fR writes the whole covariance matrix to an \fB .xpm\fR file.
63 \&Option \fB \-xpma\fR writes the atomic covariance matrix to an \fB .xpm\fR file,
64 \&i.e. for each atom pair the sum of the xx, yy and zz covariances is
69 \&Note that the diagonalization of a matrix requires memory and time
70 \&that will increase at least as fast as than the square of the number
71 \&of atoms involved. It is easy to run out of memory, in which
72 \&case this tool will probably exit with a 'Segmentation fault'. You
73 \&should consider carefully whether a reduced set of atoms will meet
74 \&your needs for lower costs.
