Detailed Description

Named torsion (dihedral) angle.

A torsion (angle) is determined by three consecutive connections, which means by four consecutive atoms, and is defined by the two planes, one formed by A1-A2-A3, the other by A2-A3-A4

Torsion are named, such that they can be retrieved later by name. They are usually added to the entity when loaded from file. For ab-initio model building, the torsions may be added manually or by an appropriate builder from the conop module such as conop::HeuristicBuilder.

The angle of the torsion may be adjusted with via a call to XCSEditor::SetTorsionAngle.

ctor for internal use, in public interface for convenience purposes


Member Function Documentation

void Apply ( EntityVisitor v  ) 

entry point for entity visitor

void CheckValidity (  )  const [protected]
Real GetAngle (  )  const

get dihedral angle based on whatever coordinate system is available

AtomHandle GetFirst (  )  const

return first atom

AtomHandle GetFourth (  )  const

return fourth atom

const String& GetName (  )  const
geom::Vec3 GetOriginalPos (  )  const

get position, i.e midpoint between the second and third atom (original coordinates)

geom::Vec3 GetPos (  )  const

get position, i.e midpoint between the second and third atom (transformed coordinates)

impl::TorsionImplP& Impl (  )  [inline]

bool IsValid (  )  const

check validity of handle

See also:
operator bool()
operator bool (  )  const

check validity of handle

check, whether the torsion handle points to a valid torsion.

Note:
It is an error to use any method other than IsValid, Impl() and operator bool() when the handle is invalid. An InvalidHandle exception will be thrown.
