cdata tool

Read, create, manipulate ChemCell data files

## How to specify and print 2d particles

c = cdata()                        create a datafile object
c = cdata("mem.surf")              read in one or more ChemCell data files
c = cdata("mem.part.gz mem.surf")  can be gzipped
c = cdata("mem.*")                 wildcard expands to multiple files
c.read("mem.surf")                 read in one or more data files

  read() has same argument options as constructor
  files contain the following kinds of entries, each of which becomes an object
    particles, triangles, region, facets
    particles is a list of particles -> becomes a group
    triangles is 3 lists of vertices, triangles, connections -> becomes a surf
    region is a ChemCell command defining a region -> becomes a region
    facets is a CUBIT format of vertices and triangles -> becomes a surf
  each object is assigned an ID = name in file
  ID can be any number or string, must be unique

c.box(ID,xlo,ylo,zlo,xhi,yhi,zhi)  create a box region
c.sphere(ID,x,y,z,r)               create a sphere region
c.shell(ID,x,y,z,r,rinner)         create a shell region
c.cyl(ID,'x',c1,c2,r,lo,hi)        create a axis-aligned cylinder region
c.cap(ID,'x',c1,c2,r,lo,hi)        create a axis-aligned capped-cylinder region
c.q(ID,q1,q2,...)                  set region triangulation quality factors

  box() can create an axis-aligned plane, line, or point if lo=hi
  cyl() can create an axis-aligned circle if lo=hi
  for cyl() and cap(): 'x' c1,c2 = y,z; 'y' c1,c2 = x,z; 'z' c,c2 = x,y
  q's are size factors for region triangulation
    for box, q1,q2,q3 = # of divisions per xyz of box
    for sphere or shell, q1 = # of divisions per face edge of embedded cube
    for cyl or cap, q1 = # of divisions per face edge of end cap, must be even
                    q2 = # of divisions along length of cylinder

c.line(ID,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2)       create a line object with one line
c.lbox(ID,xlo,ylo,zlo,xhi,yhi,zhi) create a line object with 12 box lines

c.surf(ID,id-region)               create a triangulated surf from a region
c.surftri(ID,id-surf,t1,t2,...)    create a tri surf from list of id-surf tris
c.surfselect(ID,id-surf,test)      create a tri surf from test on id-surf tris
c.bins(ID,nx,ny)                   set binning parameters for a surf

  triangulation of a shell is just done for the outer sphere
  for surftri(), one or more tri indices (1-N) must be listed
  for surfselect(), test is string like "$x < 2.0 and $y > 0.0"
  bins are used when particles are created inside/outside a surf

c.part(ID,n,id_in)                 create N particles inside object id_in
c.part(ID,n,id_in,id_out)          particles are also outside object id_out
c.part2d(ID,n,id_on)               create 2d particles on object id_on
c.partarray(ID,nx,nz,nz,x,y,z,dx,dy,dz)   create 3d grid of particles
c.partring(ID,n,x,y,z,r,'x')              create ring of particles
c.partsurf(ID,id_on)               change surf of existing 2d particle group
c.seed(43284)                      set random # seed (def = 12345)

  generate particle positions randomly (unless otherwise noted)
  for part(), id_in and id_out must be IDs of a surf, region, or union object
    inside a union object means inside any of the lower-level objects
    outside a union object means outside all of the lower-level objects
  for part2d(), id_on must be ID of a surf, region, or union object
  for part2d(), particles will be written as 2d assigned to surf id_on
  for partring(), ring axis is in 'x','y', or 'z' direction
  partsurf() changes surf id_on for an existing 2d particle group

x,n = c.random(ID)                 pick a random pt on surf of object ID

c.project(ID,ID2,dx,dy,dz,eps,fg)  project particles in ID to surf of obj ID2

  random() returns pt = [x,y,z] and normal vec n [nx,ny,nz]
  project() remaps particle coords in group ID
    moves each particle along dir until they are within eps of surface
    if no fg arg, dir = (dx,dy,dz)
    if fg arg, dir = line from particle coord to (dx,dy,dz)
    ID2 can be surf or region obj
    particles are converted to 2d assigned to surf ID2

c.center(ID,x,y,z)                 set center point of object
c.trans(ID,dx,dy,dz)               translate an object
c.rotate(ID,'x',1,1,0,'z',-1,1,0)  rotate an object
c.scale(ID,sx,sy,sz)               scale an object

  objects must be surface or particle group, regions cannot be changed
  for center(), default is middle of bounding box (set when obj is created)
  for rotate(), set any 2 axes, must be orthogonal, 3rd is inferred
    object is rotated so that it's current xyz axes point along new ones
  rotation and scaling occur relative to center point

c.union(ID,id1,id2,...)            create a new union object from id1,id2,etc
c.join(ID,id1,id2,...)             create a new object by joining id1,id2,etc
c.delete(id1,id2,...)              delete one or more objects
c.rename(ID,IDnew)                 rename an object
c.copy(ID,IDnew)                   create a new object as copy of old object

  for union, all lower-level objects must be of surface, region, or union style
  for join, all joined objects must be of same style: group, surf, line
    new object is the same style

c.select(id1,id2,...)              select one or more objects
c.select()                         select all objects
c.unselect(id1,id2,...)            unselect one or more objects
c.unselect()                       unselect all objects

  selection applies to write() and viz()

c.write("file")                    write all selected objs to ChemCell file
c.write("file",id1,id2,...)        write only listed & selected objects to file
c.append("file")                   append all selected objs to ChemCell file
c.append("file",id1,id2,...)       append only listed & selected objects

  union objects are skipped, not written to file

index,time,flag = c.iterator(0/1)          loop over single snapshot
time,box,atoms,bonds,tris,lines = c.viz(index)   return list of viz objects

  iterator() and viz() are compatible with equivalent dump calls
  iterator() called with arg = 0 first time, with arg = 1 on subsequent calls
    index = timestep index within dump object (only 0 for data file)
    time = timestep value (only 0 for data file)
    flag = -1 when iteration is done, 1 otherwise
  viz() returns info for selected objs for specified timestep index (must be 0)
    time = 0
    box = [xlo,ylo,zlo,xhi,yhi,zhi]
    atoms = id,type,x,y,z for each atom as 2d array
      NULL if atoms do not exist
    bonds = NULL
    tris = id,type,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,x3,y3,z3,nx,ny,nz for each tri as 2d array
      regions are triangulated according to q() settings by viz()
      NULL if surfaces do not exist
    lines = id,type,x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2 for each line as 2d array
      NULL if lines do not exist
    types are assigned to each object of same style in ascending order
