	<P><B>Syntax:</B>

	<PRE>compute ID group-ID coord/atom cutoff
	</PRE>
	<UL><LI>ID, group-ID are documented in <A HREF = "compute.html">compute</A> command
	<LI>coord/atom = style name of this compute command
	<LI>cutoff = distance within which to count coordination neighbors (distance units)

	<P><B>Examples:</B>
	</P>
	<PRE>compute 1 all coord/atom 2.0
	</PRE>
	<P><B>Description:</B>
	</P>
	<P>Define a computation that calculates the coordination number for each
	atom in a group. This can be output via the <A HREF = "dump.html">dump custom</A>
	command.
	</P>
	<P>The coordination number is defined as the number of neighbor atoms
	within the specified cutoff distance from the central atom.
	</P>
	<P>The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
	time the calculation is performed (i.e. each time a snapshot of atoms
	is dumped). Thus it can be inefficient to compute/dump this quantity
	too frequently or to have multiple compute/dump commands, each of a
	<I>coord/atom</I> style.
