<P>If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet (listed in the data file read

the Wilson angle is between the plane of I,J,K and the plane of J,K,L.
This is essentially a dihedral angle, which is why the formula for
this improper style is the same as for <A HREF = "dihedral_harmonic.html">dihedral_style

atoms J,K,L as being in a plane, and atom I above the plane, and the
Wilson angle as a measure of how far out-of-plane I is with respect to
the other 3 atoms.
the improper dihedral angle is between the plane of I,J,K and the
