+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Purpose of the thorn:
+
+This thorn does basic analysis of the metric and extrinsic curvature 
+tensors.
+
+It calculates
+
+  the trace of the extrinsic curvature ({\bf trK})
+
+  the determinant of the metric ({\bf detg})
+
+  the components of the metric in spherical coordinates 
+  (grr,grq,grp,gqq,gqp,gpp)
+
+  the components of the extrinsic curvature in spherical coordinates 
+  (Krr,Krq,Krp,Kqq,Kqp,Kpp)
+
+if output is requested for them.
+
+(q refers to the theta coordinate and p to the phi coordinate.)
+
+If the parameter 'rsquared_in_sphm' is true, the thorn squares the
+radial coordinate when it uses it for the transformation.
+
+This thorn knows how to handle 'physical' and 'static conformal'
+metric types.
