Graduate Normalization of Radial Distribution Function

Click For Summary
Normalization of the Radial Distribution Function (RDF) is necessary when there is a significant disparity in g(r) values, such as one reaching 40 while others remain around 5. To improve visualization, it is suggested to normalize the RDF so that g(r) approaches 1 for larger r values. Truncating the y-axis can also help in comparing smaller peaks more effectively. Python programming solutions for normalization and visualization techniques are requested. Effective normalization will enhance the clarity of the plotted data.

Hello all,
I have a Radial Distribution Function in which the y-axis ie., g(r) value goes up to 40. But the other atoms values for g(r) are, say within 5. So when i plot these two it is difficult to see the smaller graph.
So how do i normalize these value..??
I have attached an image.

Any python program if possible would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

The usual normalization is that g(r) ---> 1 for large r. For comparison with smaller peaks, you can truncate the y-axis.
 
I want the y-axis scale to be reduced and hence i can have a better visualization w.r.t all the graphs.
Any suggestions on how to get this??
 
I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
