32 g_vanhove computes the Van Hove correlation function.
33 The Van Hove G(r,t) is the probability that a particle that is at r0
34 at time zero can be found at position r0+r at time t.
35 g_vanhove determines G not for a vector r, but for the length of r.
36 Thus it gives the probability that a particle moves a distance of r
38 Jumps across the periodic boundaries are removed.
39 Corrections are made for scaling due to isotropic
40 or anisotropic pressure coupling.
46 the whole matrix can be written as a function
47 of t and r or as a function of sqrt(t) and r (option
55 the Van Hove function is plotted for one
56 or more values of t. Option
58 sets the number of times,
61 the number spacing between the times.
62 The binwidth is set with option
65 is determined automatically.
71 the integral up to a certain distance
74 ) is plotted as a function of time.
78 For all frames that are read the coordinates of the selected particles
79 are stored in memory. Therefore the program may use a lot of memory.
84 the program may be slow.
85 This is because the calculation scales as the number of frames times
