Lattice with rhombic elementary cell

A lattice object contains values defined on a finite periodic structure that is created by replicating a given elementary cell along the three lattice vectors. The elementary cell can contain any number of points.

Instance Methods
 
__init__(self, elementary_cell, lattice_vectors, cells, function=None, base=None)
 
makeLattice(self, elementary_cell, lattice_vectors, cells, base)

Inherited from Lattice: __getitem__, __len__, __setitem__

Method Details

__init__(self, elementary_cell, lattice_vectors, cells, function=None, base=None)
(Constructor)

 
Parameters:
  • elementary_cell (list of Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - a list of the points in the elementary cell
  • lattice_vectors (tuple of three Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - the edges of the elementary cell
  • cells - a tuple of three integers, indicating how often the elementary cell should be replicated along each lattice vector
  • cells - tuple of int
  • function (callable) - the function to be applied to each point in the lattice in order to obtain the value stored in the lattice. If no function is specified, the point itself becomes the value stored in the lattice.
  • base (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - an offset added to all lattice points
