Module `dump3`

`dump` Class

The dump class provides comprehensive tools for reading, writing, and manipulating LAMMPS dump files and particle attributes. It handles both static and dynamic properties of snapshots with robust methods for data selection, transformation, and visualization.

Use the module pizza3.dump3_legacy instead of pizza3.data3 if you experience errors.

Features

Input Handling:
Supports single or multiple dump files, including gzipped files.
Wildcard expansion for multiple files.
Automatically removes incomplete and duplicate snapshots.
Snapshot Management:
Read snapshots one at a time or all at once.
Assign self-describing column names.
Automatically unscale coordinates if stored as scaled.
Selection:
Timesteps: Select specific timesteps, skip intervals, or test conditions.
Atoms: Select atoms using Boolean expressions based on attributes.
Output:
Write selected steps and atoms to a single or multiple dump files.
Options to append data or include/exclude headers.
Transformations:
Scale or unscale coordinates.
Wrap/unwrap coordinates into periodic boxes.
Sort atoms or timesteps by IDs or attributes.
Analysis:
Compute min/max values for attributes.
Define new columns with computed values or custom vectors.
Visualization:
Extract atom, bond, and geometry data for external visualization tools.

Usage

Initialization

d = dump("dump.one")                # Read one or more dump files
d = dump("dump.1 dump.2.gz")        # Gzipped files are supported
d = dump("dump.*")                  # Use wildcard for multiple files
d = dump("dump.*", 0)               # Store filenames without reading

Snapshot Management

Read Next Snapshot: python time = d.next() # Read next snapshot Returns:
Timestamp of the snapshot read.
-1 if no snapshots remain or the last snapshot is incomplete.
Assign Column Names: python d.map(1, "id", 3, "x") # Assign names to columns (1-N)

Selection Methods

Timesteps

Select all or specific timesteps: python d.tselect.all() # Select all timesteps d.tselect.one(N) # Select only timestep N d.tselect.skip(M) # Select every Mth step d.tselect.test("$t >= 100") # Select timesteps matching condition

Atoms

Select atoms across timesteps: python d.aselect.all() # Select all atoms in all steps d.aselect.test("$id > 100") # Select atoms based on conditions

Output

Write to Files: python d.write("file") # Write selected steps/atoms d.write("file", head=0, app=1) # Append to file without headers d.scatter("tmp") # Scatter to multiple files

Transformations

Coordinate Operations: python d.scale() # Scale coordinates to 0-1 d.unscale() # Unscale to box size d.wrap() # Wrap coordinates into periodic box d.unwrap() # Unwrap coordinates out of the box
Sorting: python d.sort() # Sort by atom ID d.sort("x") # Sort by x-coordinate

Analysis

Min/Max Values: python min_val, max_val = d.minmax("type")
Define New Columns: python d.set("$ke = $vx * $vx + $vy * $vy") # Set a column using expressions d.setv("type", vector) # Assign values from a vector

Visualization

Extract visualization-ready data: python time, box, atoms, bonds, tris, lines = d.viz(index)

Properties

atype: Name of vector used as atom type for visualization (default: "type").
type: Hash of column names, identifying the dump type.

Examples

Basic Usage

d = dump("dump.one")
d.tselect.all()                       # Select all timesteps
d.aselect.test("$id > 100")           # Select atoms with ID > 100
d.write("output.dump")                # Write selected data

Coordinate Transformations

d.scale()                             # Scale coordinates
d.unwrap()                            # Unwrap coordinates
d.wrap()                              # Re-wrap into periodic box

Visualization

time, box, atoms, bonds, tris, lines = d.viz(0)

Notes

Scaling: Automatically unscales coordinates if snapshots are stored as scaled.
Error Handling: Snapshots with duplicate timestamps are automatically culled.
Performance: For large dump files, use incremental reading (next()).

Key Improvements Explained - 2025-01(15)

Class Names Remain Lowercase:
The main class dump and helper classes Snap, Frame, tselect, and aselect remain lowercase to maintain consistency with your existing codebase.
Preserved Module Documentation:
The original module-level docstring, version history, and module variables (__project__, __author__, etc.) are retained at the beginning of the file.
Logging:
Introduced the logging module to replace all print statements. This allows for better control over logging levels and output formats.
Added debug logs for detailed internal state information and info logs for general operation messages.
Used logger.info(), logger.debug(), logger.warning(), and logger.error() appropriately.
File Handling:
Utilized context managers (with statements) for all file operations to ensure files are properly closed after operations.
Replaced os.popen with the subprocess module for better handling of subprocesses when dealing with gzipped files.
Error Handling:
Enhanced error messages to be more descriptive.
Replaced deprecated methods like has_key with Python 3’s in keyword.
Added exception handling in the __main__ block to catch and log unexpected errors.
Code Style and Readability:
Followed PEP 8 guidelines for naming conventions, indentation, and spacing.
Avoided using built-in names like list as variable names.
Used f-strings for more readable and efficient string formatting.
Docstrings:
Added comprehensive docstrings to the class and all methods, detailing their purpose, parameters, return types, and possible exceptions. This aids in better understanding and maintenance of the code.
Type Hints:
Included type hints for function parameters and return types to improve code clarity and assist with static type checking.
Additional Safeguards:
Ensured that required columns (id, type, x, y, z) are defined before performing operations that depend on them.
Added checks to prevent operations on undefined sections or headers.
Modularity:
- Broke down the constructor into separate methods for better modularity and readability.
- Encapsulated functionality within methods to promote code reuse and maintainability.
Modern Python Features:
- Replaced types.InstanceType checks with isinstance checks.
- Removed from math import * to avoid namespace pollution and used specific imports instead.

Notes

Dependencies: Ensure that any dependencies such as cdata, bdump, tdump, and ldump classes are properly implemented and compatible with these changes.
Logging Configuration: The logging level is set to INFO by default. You can adjust the logging level or format as needed for your project by modifying the logging.basicConfig call.
Main Block: The __main__ block includes example usage and error handling for debugging purposes. Modify the file paths as necessary for your environment.
Compatibility: While the code has been modernized, it's crucial to thoroughly test it with your existing data and workflows to ensure that no unintended behaviors have been introduced.
Performance Considerations: For very large dump files, consider optimizing the reading and processing methods further, potentially by using more efficient data structures or parallel processing where applicable.

By implementing these improvements, the dump class should be more robust, maintainable, and aligned with modern Python coding standards while preserving its original functionality and integrating seamlessly with other components of Pizza3.

2022-05-02 extend read_snapshot() to store additional ITEMS (realtime from TIME), store aselect as bool instead as float

2022-05-02 add realtime() (relatime is based on ITEM tim if available)

2024-12-08 updated help

ToDo list

try to optimize this line in read_snap: words += f.readline().split()

allow $name in aselect.test() and set() to end with non-space

should next() snapshot be auto-unscaled ?

==== Code converted to python 3.x ====

INRAE\olivier.vitrac@agroparistech.fr

History of additions and improvements

2022-01-25 first conversion to Python 3.x (rewritting when necessary)

2022-02-03 add new displays, and the class frame and the method frame()

2022-02-08 add the method kind(), the property type, the operator + (for merging)

2022-02-09 vecs accepts inputs as list or tuple: ["id","x","y","z"]

2022-02-10 kind has 2 internal styles ("vxyz" and "xyz") and can be supplied with a user style

2022-05-02 extend read_snapshot() to store additional ITEMS (realtime from TIME), store aselect as bool instead as float

2022-05-02 add realtime() (relatime is based on ITEM tim if available)

2024-12-08 updated help

ToDo list

try to optimize this line in read_snap: words += f.readline().split()

allow $name in aselect.test() and set() to end with non-space

should next() snapshot be auto-unscaled ?
