See "neighbor"_neighbor.html for details.
The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
time the calculation is performed (e.g. each time a snapshot of atoms
is dumped). Thus it can be inefficient to compute/dump this quantity
too frequently or to have multiple compute/dump commands, each with a
{centro/atom} style.
If the {local yes} option is used, the g(r) is normalized by the
local density around each atom, that is to say the density around each
atom is the number of neighbors within the neighbor list cutoff divided
by the corresponding volume. This option can be useful when dealing with
inhomogeneus systems such as those that have surfaces.
