[Pw_forum] awin in average.x

[Hande Ustunel]

Dear penghua,

awin is the width of the window(=interval) around each point over which you
average the planar average to get the macroscopic average. That is to say,
it should correspond to something like, in Latex-ish math,

    f_{mav}(x)=\int_{-awin/2}^{awin/2} f_{pav}(x-x') dx'

where f is your quantity of choice (density, potential etc).

Hope this helps.
Best,
Hande

What is the use of it? Besides when I changed the value of awin, I got different mav curve, so how should I set the value of awin.
