| Name: | rotate |
| Purpose: | to rotate frames to get dispersion into Y direction if needed |
| Invocation | perl rotate file1 file2 @list1 @list2 |
| file1, file2 | --- | are individual files to be rotated. |
| list1, list2 | --- | are ascii lists of files (flagged by @). |
rotate rotates a series of frames by 90 degrees, and is often needed as a first step to get dispersion to run in Y as expected by pamela. It uses irot90 to rotate the frames by 90 degrees into a temporary file 'junk.sdf' then moves this back over the original file. This is to avoid corrupting the file.
Because it uses a temporary file, it should be safe to kill it if you want, but remember that you will then end up with a mix of rotated and unrotated frames.
