``timeseries``
--------------



The list of energy-like quantities to plot vs timestep.  These quantities are extracted from the NAMD log files and plotted against timestep.  To combine traces onto a single plot, the list element itself can be a list. The default is to plot density, but you can specify any quantity in an ENERGY: output line or an XST file, including:

- density (not included in ENERGY:, but computed)
- a_x (cell size along x direction)
- b_y (cell size along y direction)
- c_z (cell size along z direction)
- pressure
- temperature


Example:

.. code-block:: yaml

   timeseries:
   - density
   - - a_x
     - b_y
     - c_z
   - pressure
   - temperature
