Cactus Code Thorn ADMAnalysis
Authors    : Tom Goodale
CVS info   : $Header$
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
