<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Print a text string every N steps during a simulation run. This can
be used for diagnostic purposes or as a debugging tool to monitor some
quantity during a run. The text string must be a single argument, so
it should be enclosed in double quotes if it is more than one word.
If it contains variables it must be enclosed in double quotes to
insure they are not evaluated when the input script line is read, but
will instead be evaluated each time the string is printed.</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><em>variable</em></a> command for a description of <em>equal</em>
style variables which are the most useful ones to use with the fix
print command, since they are evaluated afresh each timestep that the
fix print line is output. Equal-style variables calculate formulas
involving mathematical operations, atom properties, group properties,
thermodynamic properties, global values calculated by a
<a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><em>compute</em></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="fix.html"><em>fix</em></a>, or references to other
<a class="reference internal" href="variable.html"><em>variables</em></a>.</p>
<p>If the <em>file</em> or <em>append</em> keyword is used, a filename is specified to
which the output generated by this fix will be written. If <em>file</em> is
used, then the filename is overwritten if it already exists. If
<em>append</em> is used, then the filename is appended to if it already
exists, or created if it does not exist.</p>
<p>If the <em>screen</em> keyword is used, output by this fix to the screen and
logfile can be turned on or off as desired.</p>
<p>The <em>title</em> keyword allow specification of the string that will be
printed as the first line of the output file, assuming the <em>file</em>
keyword was used. By default, the title line is as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="c"># Fix print output for fix ID</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where ID is replaced with the fix-ID.</p>
