<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Define a computation that simply stores atom attributes for each atom
in the group. This is useful so that the values can be used by other
<A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_15">output commands</A> that take computes as
inputs. See for example, the <A HREF = "compute_reduce.html">compute reduce</A>,
<A HREF = "fix_ave_atom.html">fix ave/atom</A>, <A HREF = "fix_ave_histo.html">fix ave/histo</A>,
<A HREF = "fix_ave_spatial.html">fix ave/spatial</A>, and <A HREF = "variable.html">atom-style
variable</A> commands.
</P>
<P>The list of possible attributes is the same as that used by the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump
custom</A> command, which describes their meaning, with some
additional quantities that are only defined for certain <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom
styles</A>. Basically, this list gives your input script
access to any per-atom quantity stored by LAMMPS.
</P>
<P>The values are stored in a per-atom vector or array as discussed
below. Zeroes are stored for atoms not in the specified group or for
quantities that are not defined for a particular particle in the group
(e.g. <I>shapex</I> if the particle is not an ellipsoid).
</P>
<P>The additional quantities only accessible via this command, and not
directly via the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A> command, are as follows.
</P>
<P><I>Shapex</I>, <I>shapey</I>, and <I>shapez</I> are defined for ellipsoidal particles
and define the 3d shape of each particle. <I>Quatw</I>, <I>quati</I>, <I>quatj</I>,
and <I>quatk</I> are also defined for ellipsoidal particles and store the
4-vector quaternion representing the orientation of each particle.
See the <A HREF = "set.html">set</A> command for an explanation of the quaternion
vector.
</P>
<P><I>End1x</I>, <I>end1y</I>, <I>end1z</I>, <I>end2x</I>, <I>end2y</I>, <I>end2z</I>, are defined for
line segment particles and define the end points of each line segment.
</P>
<P><I>Corner1x</I>, <I>corner1y</I>, <I>corner1z</I>, <I>corner2x</I>, <I>corner2y</I>,
<I>corner2z</I>, <I>corner3x</I>, <I>corner3y</I>, <I>corner3z</I>, are defined for
triangular particles and define the corner points of each triangle.
</P>
<P><B>Output info:</B>
</P>
<P>This compute calculates a per-atom vector or per-atom array depending
on the number of input values. If a single input is specified, a
per-atom vector is produced. If two or more inputs are specified, a
per-atom array is produced where the number of columns = the number of
inputs. The vector or array can be accessed by any command that uses
per-atom values from a compute as input. See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#howto_15">this
section</A> for an overview of LAMMPS output
options.
</P>
<P>The vector or array values will be in whatever <A HREF = "units.html">units</A> the
corresponding attribute is in, e.g. velocity units for vx, charge
units for q, etc.
