     Parameters
     ----------
     grid : damask.Grid
-        Grid, from which the material IDs are used as seeds.
+        Grid from which the material IDs are used as seeds.
     selection : iterable of integers, optional
         Material IDs to consider.
     invert : boolean, false
-        Do not consider the material IDs given in selection. Defaults to False.
+        Consider all material IDs except those in selection. Defaults to False.
     average : boolean, optional
         Seed corresponds to center of gravity of material ID cloud.
     periodic : boolean, optional
-        Center of gravity with periodic boundaries.
+        Center of gravity accounts for periodic boundaries.
