<p>Note that a <em>region</em>-style temperature can be used to thermostat with
<aclass="reference internal"href="fix_temp_rescale.html"><em>fix temp/rescale</em></a> or <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_langevin.html"><em>fix langevin</em></a>, but should probably not be used with
Nose/Hoover style fixes (<aclass="reference internal"href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix nvt</em></a>, <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix npt</em></a>, or <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix nph</em></a>), if the
degrees-of-freedom included in the computed T varies with time.</p>
<p>The temperature is calculated by the formula KE = dim/2 N k T, where
<aclass="reference internal"href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix nvt</em></a>, <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_temp_rescale.html"><em>fix temp/rescale</em></a>, <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_temp_berendsen.html"><em>fix temp/berendsen</em></a>, and <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_langevin.html"><em>fix langevin</em></a>. This means any of the thermostatting
motion, such as <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_shake.html"><em>fix shake</em></a> and <aclass="reference internal"href="fix_rigid.html"><em>fix rigid</em></a>. This is because those degrees of freedom

options.</p>
<p>The scalar value calculated by this compute is “intensive”. The
vector values are “extensive”.</p>
<p>The scalar value will be in temperature <aclass="reference internal"href="units.html"><em>units</em></a>. The
vector values will be in energy <aclass="reference internal"href="units.html"><em>units</em></a>.</p>
