"""
Leaflet identification --- :mod:`MDAnalysis.analysis.leaflet`
==============================================================

This module implements the *LeafletFinder* algorithm, described in
[Michaud-Agrawal2011]_. It can identify the lipids in a bilayer of
arbitrary shape and topology, including planar and undulating bilayers
under periodic boundary conditions or vesicles.

One can use this information to identify

* the upper and lower leaflet of a *planar membrane* by comparing the
  the :meth:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup.center_of_geometry` of
  the leaflet groups, or

* the outer and inner leaflet of a *vesicle* by comparing histograms
  of distances from the centre of geometry (or possibly simply the
  :meth:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup.radius_of_gyration`).

See example scripts in the MDAnalysisCookbook_ on how to use
:class:`LeafletFinder`. The function :func:`optimize_cutoff` implements a
(slow) heuristic method to find the best cut off for the LeafletFinder
algorithm.

.. _MDAnalysisCookbook: https://github.com/MDAnalysis/MDAnalysisCookbook/tree/master/examples


Algorithm
---------

1. build a graph of all phosphate distances < cutoff
2. identify the largest connected subgraphs
3. analyse first and second largest graph, which correspond to the leaflets

For further details see [Michaud-Agrawal2011]_.
