Detailed Description

GromacsGroFile parses a Gromacs .gro file and constructs a set of atom positions from it.

A .gro file also contains some topological information, such as elements and residue names, but not enough to construct a full Topology object. This information is recorded and stored in the object's public fields.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def __init__	(	self,
		file
	)

Load a .gro file.

The atom positions can be retrieved by calling getPositions().

Parameters:

file	(string) the name of the file to load

Member Function Documentation

def getNumFrames ( self )

Get the number of frames stored in the file.

def getPeriodicBoxVectors	(	self,
		frame = `0`
	)

Get the vectors defining the periodic box.

Parameters:

frame (int=0) the index of the frame for which to get the box vectors

def getPositions	(	self,
		asNumpy = `False`,
		frame = `0`
	)

Get the atomic positions.

Parameters:

asNumpy	(boolean=False) if true, the values are returned as a numpy array instead of a list of Vec3s
frame	(int=0) the index of the frame for which to get positions
