<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Adjust the forces on each atom in the group so that it's motion will
be along the linear direction specified by the vector (x,y,z). This
is done by subtracting out components of force perpendicular to the
line.
</P>
<P>If the initial velocity of the atom is 0.0 (or along the line), then
it should continue to move along the line thereafter.

<P>No information about this fix is written to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart
files</A>. None of the <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify</A> options
are relevant to this fix. No global scalar or vector or per-atom
quantities are stored by this fix for access by various <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">output
commands</A>. No parameter of this fix can be
used with the <I>start/stop</I> keywords of the <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command.
</P>
<P>The forces due to this fix are imposed during an energy minimization,
invoked by the <A HREF = "minimize.html">minimize</A> command.
