DESCRIPTION
     gmx  densorder reduces a two-phase density distribution along an axis, com-
     puted over a MD trajectory, to 2D surfaces fluctuating in time, by a fit to
     a functional profile for interfacial densities.   A  time-averaged  spatial
     representation of the interfaces can be output with the option -tavg.
