mdtraj.compute_angles¶
- mdtraj.compute_angles(traj, angle_indices, periodic=True, opt=True)[source]¶
Compute the bond angles between the supplied triplets of indices in each frame of a trajectory.
- Parameters:
traj (Trajectory) – An mdtraj trajectory.
angle_indices (np.ndarray, shape=(num_angles, 3), dtype=int) – Each row gives the indices of three atoms which together make an angle.
periodic (bool, default=True) – If periodic is True and the trajectory contains unitcell information, we will treat angles that cross periodic images using the minimum image convention.
opt (bool, default=True) – Use an optimized native library to calculate distances. Our optimized SSE angle calculation implementation is 10-20x faster than the (itself optimized) numpy implementation.
- Returns:
angles – The angles are in radians
- Return type:
np.ndarray, shape=[n_frames, n_angles], dtype=float
