Most analyses become simpler when working in the "brick shape" representation of triclinic boxes. It would be nice to have the option to select the representation when wrapping (and possibly unwrapping?).
Describe the solution you'd like
Similar to gmx trjconv -ur:
u.atoms.wrap(representation="tric") # default behaviour
u.atoms.wrap(representation="rect") # brick shape, does nothing for orthorhombic boxes
u.atoms.wrap(representation="compact")
See #2982 for the importance of compact wrapping.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We currently do this
is_triclinic = np.any(ts.dimensions[-3:] != np.array([90.0, 90.0, 90.0]))
self._universe.atoms.wrap(compound=self.wrap_compound)
if is_triclinic:
ortho_box = triclinic_to_orthorhombic(ts.dimensions)
self._universe.atoms.wrap(
compound=self.wrap_compound, box=ortho_box
)
