radial_profiles.RadialProfile

class radial_profiles.RadialProfile(profile, name=None)

The radial_profiles.RadialProfile class acts as a wrapper on standard functions to represent radial profiles for different physical variables.

Parameters:

profile (radial_profiles.RadialProfile or callable) – The radial profile to attribute to the object. The radial profile must be callable (i.e. lambda function) or another instance of radial_profiles.RadialProfile.

Methods

__init__(profile[, name])
add_core(r_core, alpha)	Add a core to the pre-existing profile.
built_in(name, *args)	Initialize a RadialProfile from the specified name and given args.
cutoff(r_cut[, k])	Generate a truncated form of the profile.
from_array(r, f_r)	Generate a callable radial profile using an array of radii and an array of values.
from_binary(f)	Load a specific instance of a RadialProfile object from the serialized version of the instance saved to disk.
plot(rmin, rmax[, num_points, fig, ax])	Make a quick plot of a profile using Matplotlib.
to_binary(f)	Send the RadialProfile instance to a serialized binary file.

Attributes

builtin	The built-in options for RadialProfile objects.
name	The profile name.
