Ambiguous vector2scalar documentation
Hello,
the documentation of the vector2scalar option "norm" states that,
if it's positive, the vector force is oriented within -90 to 90 degrees with respect to the atoms/residues - considered to be same direction = attractive = negative if it's negative, the vector force is oriented within 90 to 270 degrees with respect to the atoms/residues - considered to be in opposite direction = repulsive = positive
This is rather ambiguous! What exactly does "positive [...] = negative" and "negative [...] = positive" mean? Which is the correct sign? Should it maybe say "if the cosine is positive/negative, the vector force is ..." and "= attractive/repulsive = the assigned sign is negative/positive"?
Thank you! Best, Ferdinand
