In fact, there is not flag to control the normalised range. But you can take
the range, 0-1, of rdf.xvg.
The caluclated neighbour number at dr is normalised by the ideal case at dr
(average density times the volume at dr) . For the ideal condition, the
density at the short range is the same as the average density. Therefore,
......


I have read on the user list that I should get three columns in the *.xvg

The default rdf.xvg will give only two columns, r and g(r)


Thanks in advance for any help.
