\begin{abstract}
The \texttt{IDConstraintViolate} thorn creates initial data
which purposefully violates the constraint equations for testing purposes.
\end{abstract}


\section{Gaussian}

Choosing the {\tt ADMBase} parameter {\tt initial\_data} to have the 
value {\tt Constraint violating gaussian} creates initial data with the
form
\begin{eqnarray*}
g_{xx} = g_{yy} = g_{zz} &=& 1 + A \exp \left(\frac{-(r-r_0)^2}{\sigma^2}\right)
\\
g_{xy} = g_{xz} = g_{yz} &=& 0
\\
K_{ij} &=& 0
\end{eqnarray*}
where the size and shape of the Gaussian is specified by parameters, $A$={\tt amplitude}, $r_0$={\tt radius} and $\sigma$={\tt sigma}.
