Issue with the Warnings about membrane-curvature HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @Chokerino, my apologies for the late reply. I didn't see your message earlier.

The message is indicating that there is an atom of coordinates x, y = (137.42520141601562, 137.42520141601562) that exceeds the grid boundaries created by MembraneCurvature and therefore that atom is not taken into account to calculate the surfaces. The message is intended to warn the user about a potential loss in sampling; the more atoms in the AtomGroup of reference, the more accurate the derived surface will be. In your case, if your AtomGroup has N atoms, then the warning means that the surfaces are derived from N-1 instead because the atom of the coordinates specified in the message is skipped.

With that said, from the message I infer that:

• There is an atom of coordinates (x,y) ~ (137.425, 137.425) in your atom group.
• The grid has 25 bins in x and 13 bins in y.

It's possible that there is an atom in the system that exceeds the boundaries of the grid: 137.425 (atom) > 13.0 (grid), and the surface is not using that atom for sampling. If the number of atoms skipped << number of atoms in AtomGroup it's ok. Otherwise, please consider that low sampling may result in inaccurate surfaces and curvatures.

Since there is no more activity, I am closing this issue.
