+Wasserstein distance user manual
+================================
+Definition
+----------
+
+.. include:: wasserstein_distance_sum.inc
+
+This implementation is based on ideas from "Large Scale Computation of Means and Cluster for Persistence Diagrams via Optimal Transport".
+
+Function
+--------
+.. autofunction:: gudhi.wasserstein.wasserstein_distance
+
+
+Basic example
+-------------
+
+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.
+
+.. testcode::
+
+ import gudhi.wasserstein
+ import numpy as np
+
+ diag1 = np.array([[2.7, 3.7],[9.6, 14.],[34.2, 34.974]])
+ diag2 = np.array([[2.8, 4.45],[9.5, 14.1]])
+
+ message = "Wasserstein distance value = " + '%.2f' % gudhi.wasserstein.wasserstein_distance(diag1, diag2, order=1., internal_p=2.)
+ print(message)
+
+The output is:
+
+.. testoutput::
+
+ Wasserstein distance value = 1.45
