Bader -b option

[carlossiero]

Dear users,

any of you could give me a better description of the options -b neargrid, -b ongrid and the old -b offgrid ?

Thanks so much

Yes, this is described in detail in this publication:

Basically, the ongrid method is our original implementation. It's nice and simple, but was shown to have some bias with respect to the lattice orientation. The neargrid method is similar; ascent trajectories still hop from grid point to grid point, but their actual position is remembered with respect to the nearest grid point. This removes the lattice-bias and should be used for all calculations unless you want to experiment with methods or compare to some older calculation.

Thanks Graeme!
