The "contact map" plugin in the VMD Extensions menu calculates
it's "res-res distances" by finding the distance between CA
atoms in the selected residues. You can read the actual Tcl script
that does this by opening the contactmap.tcl script in your installed
VMD, in: vmd/plugins/noarch/tcl/contactmap1.1/contactmap.tcl

The routine of interest is ::contactmap::calcDataDist
