Splitting Simulation Box into Different Bins

Hello,

I am running a simulation on fluid Argon and it involves a rectangular box with liquid argon in the middle and gaseous argon on the sides. My goal is to plot the density with respect to each “bin” that I create. Is this even possible to do? Can Lammps split up a simulation box, full of atoms, into separate bins? Thank you for the assistance. My code is below.

Regards,

Tyler

​please see the documentation for compute chunk/atom ​
http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/compute_chunk_atom.html which you can then use
with other per-chunk computes and fix ave/chunk (or other fixes) to compute
all kinds of properties for these chunks, which can be 1-d, 2-d, or 3-d
bins.
