## Syntax
The following table describes the [keywords and options](/plumed-manual/new-manual/parsing.html) that can be used with this action
| Keyword | Type | Default | Description |
|:-------|:----:|:-------:|:-----------|
| SPECIES | input | none | the list of atoms for which the symmetry function is being calculated and the atoms that can be in the environments |
| SPECIESA | input | none | the list of atoms for which the symmetry function is being calculated |
| SPECIESB | input | none | the list of atoms that can be in the environments of each of the atoms for which the symmetry function is being calculated |
| NN | compulsory | 6 | The n parameter of the switching function |
| MM | compulsory | 0 | The m parameter of the switching function; 0 implies 2*NN |
| D_0 | compulsory | 0.0 | The d_0 parameter of the switching function |
| R_0 | compulsory | none | The r_0 parameter of the switching function |
| PLANE | compulsory | none | the plane to use when calculating the value of the order parameter should be xy, xz or yz |
| SWITCH | optional | not used | the switching function that it used in the construction of the contact matrix. Options for this keyword are explained in the documentation for [LESS_THAN](/plumed-manual/new-manual/LESS_THAN.html). |
| LESS_THAN | optional | not used | calculate the number of variables that are less than a certain target value. Options for this keyword are explained in the documentation for [LESS_THAN](/plumed-manual/new-manual/LESS_THAN.html). |
