Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text
: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "In the single()
method, the scalingZ
variable is calculated and used to scale the potential before it is returned."
A block of code is set as follows:
units metal dimension 3 boundary p p p atom_style atomic atom_modify map array
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
pair_style tableZ linear 10000 pair_coeff 1 1 Table_Potential.table V_Table 12.0 17.0 1.0 -0.04 10.0 compute TABLE_PE G1 group/group G2 variable TABLE_PE equal c_TABLE_PE
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "As you can see, the atoms will cross R_EVAP sequentially and the Fix PrintEvaporate
command will be able to register these crossings by printing to file."
