.SH DESCRIPTION
\&\fB g_cluster\fR can cluster structures using several different methods.
\&Distances between structures can be determined from a trajectory
\&or read from an \fB .xpm\fR matrix file with the \fB \-dm\fR option.
\&RMS deviation after fitting or RMS deviation of atom\-pair distances
\&can be used to define the distance between structures.


\&single linkage: add a structure to a cluster when its distance to any
\&element of the cluster is less than \fB cutoff\fR.


\&Jarvis Patrick: add a structure to a cluster when this structure
\&and a structure in the cluster have each other as neighbors and
\&they have a least \fB P\fR neighbors in common. The neighbors
\&of a structure are the M closest structures or all structures within
\&\fB cutoff\fR.


\&Monte Carlo: reorder the RMSD matrix using Monte Carlo.


\&diagonalization: diagonalize the RMSD matrix.


\&gromos: use algorithm as described in Daura \fI et al.\fR
\&(\fI Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.\fR \fB 1999\fR, \fI 38\fR, pp 236\-240).
\&Count number of neighbors using cut\-off, take structure with
\&largest number of neighbors with all its neighbors as cluster
\&and eliminate it from the pool of clusters. Repeat for remaining
\&structures in pool.


\&When the clustering algorithm assigns each structure to exactly one
\&cluster (single linkage, Jarvis Patrick and gromos) and a trajectory
\&file is supplied, the structure with
\&the smallest average distance to the others or the average structure
\&or all structures for each cluster will be written to a trajectory
\&file. When writing all structures, separate numbered files are made
\&for each cluster.


\&Two output files are always written:

\&\fB \-o\fR writes the RMSD values in the upper left half of the matrix
\&and a graphical depiction of the clusters in the lower right half
\&When \fB \-minstruct\fR = 1 the graphical depiction is black
\&when two structures are in the same cluster.
\&When \fB \-minstruct\fR  1 different colors will be used for each
\&cluster.

\&\fB \-g\fR writes information on the options used and a detailed list
\&of all clusters and their members.


\&Additionally, a number of optional output files can be written:

\&\fB \-dist\fR writes the RMSD distribution.

\&\fB \-ev\fR writes the eigenvectors of the RMSD matrix
\&diagonalization.

\&\fB \-sz\fR writes the cluster sizes.

\&\fB \-tr\fR writes a matrix of the number transitions between
\&cluster pairs.

\&\fB \-ntr\fR writes the total number of transitions to or from
\&each cluster.

\&\fB \-clid\fR writes the cluster number as a function of time.

\&\fB \-cl\fR writes average (with option \fB \-av\fR) or central
\&structure of each cluster or writes numbered files with cluster members
\&for a selected set of clusters (with option \fB \-wcl\fR, depends on
\&\fB \-nst\fR and \fB \-rmsmin\fR).
