slice_bifrost_meshfile

PlasmaCalcs.hookups.bifrost.bifrost_io_tools.slice_bifrost_meshfile(meshfile, slices, *, dst=None)

read meshfile contents, slice by slices, output to dst (return as str if dst=None)

meshfile: str, path to mesh file slices: dict of {x: indexer} for any x from (‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’).

currently, implementation requires all provided indexers to be slice objects.

dst: None or str.

None –> return output as a string.

str –> write output to file with this name; return abspath to dst.

(never overwrites existing output; dst must be a file that doesn’t exist yet.)
