you have to ask this the authors of the colvars package.

you can (and should) look this up in the VMD user's guide.

again, this is a question to the colvars authors.
the only VMD related aspect here are periodic boundaries.
measure rgyr does not take them into account. you have
to use pbctools to transform/unwrap your trajectory
accordingly, if needed.
