Re: [h5md-user] Update on H5MD from Stuttgart

[Peter Colberg]

Hi all,

With regard to the boundary attribute of the box group, I have the
impression that a value of “open”, or “open” and “closed”, would give
rise to many differing interpretations.

As an unambiguous definition of “boundary”, I suggest to use the
values “periodic“ and “nonperiodic” in the first H5MD release.
“nonperiodic” conveys exactly the intended meaning.

Regards,
Peter
