Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like a tool to calculate the thickness of lipids (or their tails) in the z dimension, as this is a useful input feature for creating Hidden Markov Models to identify phase separation in lipid membranes.

Describe the solution you'd like
A tool to calculate the thickness of lipids (or their tails) in the z dimension.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Don't bother - it's quite easy to calculate anyway. But this would be force-field agnostic and still save everyone writing a short script. Plus the results array would be in a format that makes it simple to pass them to e.g. Pomegranate to construct a HMM.

Additional context
See Park and Im (2018) for a description of how to use lipid tail thicknesses to create HMMs.
