The input trajectory can be in any of the following formats: 

                  ATOMS - the atoms involved in each of the angles you wish to 
                          calculate. Keywords like ATOMS1, ATOMS2, ATOMS3,... should be listed 
                          and one angle will be calculated for each ATOM keyword you 
                          specify (all ATOM keywords should provide the indices of three 
                          atoms). The eventual number of quantities calculated by this action 
                          will depend on what functions of the distribution you choose to 
                          calculate.. You can use multiple instances of this keyword i.e. ATOMS1, 
                          ATOMS2, ATOMS3... 
                  GROUP - Calculate angles for each distinct set of three atoms in 
                          the group 
                 GROUPA - A group of central atoms about which angles should be 
                          calculated 
                 GROUPB - When used in conjunction with GROUPA this keyword instructs 
                          plumed to calculate all distinct angles involving one atom from 
                          GROUPA and two atoms from GROUPB. The atom from GROUPA is the 
                          central atom. 
                 GROUPC - This must be used in conjunction with GROUPA and GROUPB. 
                          All angles involving one atom from GROUPA, one atom from GROUPB 
                          and one atom from GROUPC are calculated. The GROUPA atoms are 
                          assumed to be the central atoms 

The following options are available

  NUMERICAL_DERIVATIVES - ( default=off ) calculate the derivatives for these 
                          quantities numerically 
                  NOPBC - ( default=off ) ignore the periodic boundary conditions 
                          when calculating distances 
                 SERIAL - ( default=off ) do the calculation in serial. Do not use 
                          MPI 
                 LOWMEM - ( default=off ) lower the memory requirements 
                TIMINGS - ( default=off ) output information on the timings of the 
                          various parts of the calculation 
                   MEAN - take the mean of these variables. The final value can be 
                          referenced using <em>label</em>.mean. You can use multiple instances 
                          of this keyword i.e. MEAN1, MEAN2, MEAN3... The corresponding 
                          values are then referenced using <em>label</em>.mean-1, 
                          <em>label</em>.mean-2, <em>label</em>.mean-3... 
              LESS_THAN - calculate the number of variables less than a certain 
                          target value. 
                BETWEEN - calculate the number of values that are within a certain 
                          range. These quantities are calculated using kernel density 
                          estimation as described on \ref histogrambead. The final value can be 
                          referenced using <em>label</em>.between. You can use multiple 
                          instances of this keyword i.e. BETWEEN1, BETWEEN2, BETWEEN3... The 
                          corresponding values are then referenced using <em>label</em>.between-1, 
                          <em>label</em>.between-2, <em>label</em>.between-3... 
              HISTOGRAM - calculate how many of the values fall in each of the bins 
                          of a histogram. This shortcut allows you to calculates NBIN 
                          quantities like BETWEEN. The final value can be referenced using 
                          <em>label</em>.histogram. You can use multiple instances of this keyword i.e. 
                          HISTOGRAM1, HISTOGRAM2, HISTOGRAM3... The corresponding values are then 
                          referenced using <em>label</em>.histogram-1, 
                          <em>label</em>.histogram-2, <em>label</em>.histogram-3... 
              MORE_THAN - calculate the number of variables more than a certain 
                          target value. 
                 SWITCH - A switching function that ensures that only angles between 
                          atoms that are within a certain fixed cutoff are calculated. The 
                          following provides information on the \ref switchingfunction that are 
                          available. 
                SWITCHA - A switching function on the distance between the atoms in 
                          group A and the atoms in group B 
                SWITCHB - A switching function on the distance between the atoms in 
                          group A and the atoms in group B
