Actually, I've got a similar problem. Ideally, I want to average volume
slices over the x axis, then plot it with GNUplot, Mathematica, ... I
can probably make it with a single slice extracted from the center of
the system, though. Is there a tool to average/extract a slice in VMD?
Or at least is there a doc explaining the DX format?
