::pwtk::pwi::getAtmPos

SYNOPSIS

proc ::pwtk::pwi::getAtmPos {{path_allowed 0}} {

PURPOSE

Get atomic positions from the pw.x input data, i.e.: 

     AtmSy1  x1 y1 z1  [if_pos(1) if_pos(2) if_pos(3)]
     AtmSy2  x2 y2 z2  [if_pos(1) if_pos(2) if_pos(3)]
     ....

For path calculation it returns: 

     first_image
     AtmSy1  x1 y1 z1  [if_pos(1) if_pos(2) if_pos(3)]
     AtmSy2  x2 y2 z2  [if_pos(1) if_pos(2) if_pos(3)]
     ...
