The function trans4() returns a matrix that effects a translation along a
certain axis by a certain distance. So you need something like this:
matrix mat;
...
mat = trans4( m, string1, string2, distance );
Here string one is an atom expression that gives the tail of the vector,
and string2 gives the head. Distance is the distance to move, so a distance
of 0.0 just gives a no-op matrix.
To *use* this matrix, you have to give it to transformmol:
transformmol( mat, m, string3 );
Here string3 tells the code which atoms should be moved; sending NULL there
will move everything.
If you just want to put the iron atom at the origin, using alignframe()
is much simpler. But there may be no need to do this if your goal is to
rotate certain atoms by some amount about some bond: rot4() handles that
task, with no need to place any atoms at the origin.
There are, to be sure, not many examples in the manual. But you can see an
example of rot4 on p. 843.
