the the 2d-rmsd with smooth shading, sometimes imposing specific ranges
can cause artifacts. then use the smooth shading to help choose a cutoff
for the clustering.

for more frames, you need to change the limits in LENGTH.BLOCK.
It still calculates the entire 2D matrix, which can be very slow. You might
want to use ptraj, which can cluster with a 2-pass approach using sieving
on the first pass. This is much faster for very large data sets.
