+Emission-Line Tying
++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Line tying in the DAP uses the functionality in `ppxf`_ in a limited and
+abstracted way.
+
+**Tying fluxes** effectively means that the lines are put in the same
+emission-line template.  This is why, currently, any lines with tied fluxes must
+also tie their velocity and velocity dispersion.  Also, the DAP currently does
+not allow tying fluxes using inequalities.
+
+**Tying kinematics** can be done with equality or inequality.  For equality, use
+the ``=`` character, as in the example file above.  Unlike the fluxes, the
+kinematics cannot be tied to be, e.g., a specific fraction of the value of the
+tied line.  (I.e., you can't tie the dispersion to be exactly half of the
+dispersion of the tied line).  For inequality, there are a couple of options:
+
+    #. Use ``>N`` or ``<N`` to force the value to be greater or less than the
+       provided fraction of the the value of the tied line.  E.g., to force the
+       dispersion of one component to be at least 1.5 times larger than the tied
+       line, use ``>1.5``.  Using ``>`` or ``<`` is equivalent to ``>1`` and
+       ``<``, respectively.
+
+    #. To bound the value between both upper and lower limits, you must use a
+       *single* fixed fractional bound.  For example, setting the tied value for
+       the dispersion to ``1.4`` means that the best-fitting dispersion must be
+       greater than 1/1.4 and less than 1.4 times the dispersion of the tied
+       line.
+
+.. warning::
+
+    Although line tying has been experimented with for MaNGA data, much of the
+    inequality tying is not well tested.
