pair-wise cutoff in pair_style gauss/cut

Hi,

The documentation on pair_style gauss/cut suggests that the style gauss/cut uses a global cutoff.

“The global cutoff (r_c) specified in the pair_style command is used.”

However, the source code (pair_gauss_cut.cpp) indeed has the option of using a pair-wise cutoff value

“if (narg == 6) cut_one = force->numeric(FLERR,arg[5]);”

Unless I misread the documentation, do you think it should mention the pair-wise cutoff as an optional fourth coefficient along with the required H, r_mh and sigma_h?

Regards.

you are correct. the documentation is not in sync with the implementation.
