Keyword RDF

This keyword controls the radial distribution function calculation.
Options:
MAX=$<$Real$>$ Maximum distance for radial distribution function calculation. The default is 10.0 Å.
WIDTH=$<$Real$>$ Width of bins in the grid for radial distribution. The default is 0.01 Å.
Description:
The MAX option specifies how far the radial distribution function ranges out in space. With the WIDTH option the extent of a bin on the radial grid is specified. Note that the ratio MAX/WIDTH defines the number of bins on the grid. Units are automatically chosen from the GEOMETRY block specification. The following example input calculates the RDF for C-O in glycerol until 10 Å with a resolution of 0.05 Å.
