+Description
+"""""""""""
+
+Write energy and force values to a file as a function of distance for
+the currently defined bond potential.  This is useful for plotting the
+potential function or otherwise debugging its values.  If the file
+already exists, the table of values is appended to the end of the file
+to allow multiple tables of energy and force to be included in one
+file.
+
+The energy and force values are computed at distances from inner to
+outer for 2 interacting atoms forming a bond of type btype, using the
+appropriate :doc:`bond_coeff <bond_coeff>` coefficients. N evenly spaced
+distances are used.
+
+For example, for N = 7, inner = 1.0, and outer = 4.0,
+values are computed at r = 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0.
+
+The file is written in the format used as input for the
+:doc:`bond_style <bond_style>` *table* option with *keyword* as the
+section name.  Each line written to the file lists an index number
+(1-N), a distance (in distance units), an energy (in energy units),
+and a force (in force units).
+
+Restrictions
+""""""""""""
+
+
+All force field coefficients for bond and other kinds of interactions
+must be set before this command can be invoked.
+
+Due to how the bond force is computed, an inner value > 0.0 must
+be specified even if the potential has a finite value at r = 0.0.
