After the radius is found, the cummulative RDP can be analyzed up to that value, instead of using the entire RDP which makes the results depend on the frame size.
See blocks of code in https://github.com/asteca/asteca/commit/847c98bbdbf45620c70827fe589449b751551b4a and https://github.com/asteca/asteca/commit/de2147515dd8fcf7c91a325a64be65b3c597e88c
The following article uses a similar cumulative RDP and generates RDP's for different populations of stars (separated in the CMD) which would also be nice: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014AJ....148...27C
Perhaps generate three RDP's: one for the brightest top third, one for the middle section of stars in the magnitude range, and one for the dimmest third of stars. Also generate the full cumulative RDP, so that summing the three RDP's results in that one?
The King profile fit takes care of this with the central density, rc, etc
Use the information gathered when obtaining the cluster's radius to classify it and output this info to the output file.
