			<P>where theta0 is the equilibrium value of the angle, and K is a
			prefactor. Note that the usual 1/2 factor is included in K.

			<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
			<A HREF = "angle_coeff.html">angle_coeff</A> command as in the example above, or in
			the data file or restart files read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>

			<UL><LI>K (energy/radian^2)
			<LI>theta0 (degrees)
			</UL>
			<P>Theta0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians
			internally; hence the units of K are in energy/radian^2.
