✨ TRAVIS(1) — the travis girlie pop 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the User commands section, this is the manual page for travis, and yes she is capital-L Literally that girl. 🌸

🦋 NAME 🦋

travis — Trajectory Analyzer and Visualizer ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

travis [options] [file]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so travis is a Trajectory Analyzer and Visualizer (TRAVIS for short, iykyk), and she is a free tool for analyzing and visualizing trajectories from all kinds of Molecular Dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations. 🧚 no cap, all kinds.

the whole goal of TRAVIS? collect as many analyses as possible into one single program. that way you get one powerful tool and you literally never have to juggle a million different programs just to evaluate your simulations. it's giving organized. it's giving efficient. this should greatly rationalize and simplify the workflow of analyzing trajectories, and honestly? she ate. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so first things first: if you only pass one parameter, TRAVIS just assumes it's the name of a trajectory file. periodt.

the program supports the following options:

• -p file — loads position data from the trajectory file you specify. the file format can be XYZ (.xyz), PDB (.pdb), LAMMPS (.lmp) or DLPOLY (file name HISTORY with no extension at all, not even a little one). if you don't set this option, TRAVIS will just ask you which trajectory file to open. 🫶
• -i file — reads input from the text file you specify.
• -stream — treats the input trajectory as a stream (like a named pipe, bestie 💧).
• -config file — loads the configuration file you specify.
• -showconf — shows you a tree structure of the configuration file. 🌳
• -writeconf — writes the default configuration file.
• -nocolor — execute in monochrome mode. sad beige energy but valid. 🖤
• -dimcolor — uses dim colors instead of bright ones.
• -verbose — show detailed information about what's going on. she'll yap (affectionately) 🗣️
• -help, -? — show the help screen.

---

🌸 FILES 🌸

• travis.log, #1#travis.log, #2#travis.log, ... — session log file(s). yes there can be many, she keeps receipts. 📝
• travis.conf, ~/travis.conf — configuration file(s).

💀 BUGS 💀

NEVER run more than one instance of TRAVIS in the same directory at the same time!! 😭 every single instance will try to access the same log file, and at least one of them will crash. not a vibe. do not do it. fr fr.

aaaand that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this was travis from March 12, 2013, living in the TRAVIS(1) manual section — go analyze some trajectories and slay 💅🌈⭐
