Basic example
-------------
-This example computes the 1-Wasserstein distance from 2 persistence diagrams with euclidean ground metric.
+This example computes the 1-Wasserstein distance from 2 persistence diagrams with Euclidean ground metric.
Note that persistence diagrams must be submitted as (n x 2) numpy arrays and must not contain inf values.
