 Similarly as for format 3, for potential functions that are a function of distance (e.g. pair potentials, EAM transfer functions), a smooth cutoff at the final sampling value is assumed and the value is not varied. Similarly as for format 3, for potential functions that are a function of distance (e.g. pair potentials, EAM transfer functions), a smooth cutoff at the final sampling value is assumed and the value is not varied.

 +If the ''#G'' header line is specified, each function table must be preceded by two values specifying the 
 +gradient of the function at the lower and upper boundaries. A value of $10^{30}$ or greater triggers the 
 +usage of natural splines (curvature 0 at boundaries). You should not make the gradient variable at 
 +boundaries where natural splines are specified. This will lead to undesired results.
