====== Binned distribution file ====== ---- Information on how often each segment (between two sampling points) of the various functions is used in force calculation is printed to the file given by the parameter ''bindist_file''. To enable this feature, compile //potfit// with the ''--enable-bindist'' switch. This information can be useful to check if the sampling points of tabulated potentials have a reasonable density and/or distribution. This option is incompatible with mpi parallelization and only available for tabulated potentials. In the output file you get a datapoint for every segment between two potential datapoints. Different potentials are separated by two newlines. === Example === If your potential would be defined by values at $r=1,2,3$ then you would get a distfile with values at $1.5$ and $2.5$ representing the two segments. This is data from a binned distribution file combined with the [[output:plotpointfile]] to visualize the individual segments: {{:distfile.png}}
