[AMBER] Cpptraj hist command

 Dear Amber users,

I am using the cpptraj command "hist" to create a histogram of the angles
of a dihedral. I would like to have a step of 1ยบ and the histogram to be
centered, i.e. for the bin with x value 15 to contain all values between
14.5 and 15.5. So far, I use the script:


*parm ../../prep.prmtoptrajin ../out.dcd*

*dihedral d21 .37 @33 @25 @22 out dihe-disthist d21 min -180.5 max 180.5
step 1 out d21.hist*

*precision d21.hist 12 7*

then I could add 0.5 to the x column when I plot in order to get a centered
histogram. The problem is that in the output file, the column of x values
does not have decimal points. The command "precision" does not help since
it only affects the y values. The output I get is:


#d21 Hist_00005
    -180 0.0000000
    -180 0.0000000
    -178 0.0000000
    -178 0.0000000
    -176 0.0000000
    -176 0.0000000
............... etc

Using that same script but a fractional step (for instance 0.5) give me
decimals on the x columm:

#d21 Hist_00005
-180.5000000 0.0000000
-180.0000000 0.0000000
-179.5000000 0.0000000
-179.0000000 0.0000000
-178.5000000 0.0000000
-178.0000000 0.0000000
...................... etc

So I would like to ask if there is any way of increasing the number of
decimal points of the x column using an integer step (with fractional min
and max) or alternatively a way of centering the value of the bins. The
desired output is like this:

#d21 Hist_00005
-180.5000000 0.0000000
-179.5000000 0.0000000
-178.5000000 0.0000000
...................... etc

where the bin with x=-179.5 contain all values between -179.5 and -178.5.
Alternatively, an output like this one:

#d21 Hist_00005
    -180 0.0000000
    -179 0.0000000
    -178 0.0000000
    -177 0.0000000
............... etc

Would also work, provided that the bin with x=-178 contains all values
between -179.5 and -178.5.

Could somebody help me?
Thanks a lot,
Best,
Pablo.

PS: I am aware that this could be done with a bit of post processing, but I
would like to avoid that if possible.
