snapdist - gives a measure for the distance between two snapshots, with
and without sliding in time to minimize the distance.
snapdist in1=snap-file1
in2=snap-file2
snapdist computes the 3-dimensional Euclidean distances
between the positions of corresponding particles in the two snapshots. It
reports five of these N values: the minimum value, the first quartile,
the median, the third quartile, the maximum value; in this order, on a
single line on the screen. On the second line it reports similar but smaller
values, obtained by a linear shift of all particles in one of the two snapshots
along their velocity vectors, in such a way as to minimize their combined
3N-dimensional distance in positions. In other words, the distance vector
between the two snapshots in 3N-dimensional configuration space is decomposed
into two components, one parallel to the 3N-dimensional velocity vector
of one of the systems, and one perpendicular. The perpendicular distance
serves as a basis for the max/min and quartile information on the second
line of output, and on the third line the amount of time sliding is given:
dt = drpar/v , where drpar and v are the absolute values of the 3N-dimensional
vectors of the parallel component of the distance between the snapshots,
and the velocity of one the snapshots, respectively.
Another way of comparing
snapshots is described in snapcmp(1NEMO)
.
The following parameters
are recognized; they may be given in any order.
- in1=snap-file1
- Input data
is read from snap-file1, which must be in SnapShot format.
- in2=snap-file2
- Input data is read from snap-file2, which must be in SnapShot format.

An extended version could use acceleration information
as well, either to provide information in velocity space, or to make a
quadratic (rather than linear) sliding in time possible to give a more
accurate decomposition in distances along and perpendicular to worldlines.
