__call__(var, *args, name=UNSET, item=False, verbose=UNSET, **kw)

returns value of var from self.

result is probably an xarray.DataArray, but not guaranteed.

var: str or iterable of strs.

Name of the var(s) to load. E.g. ‘n’ for number density, or [‘n’, ‘u’] for number density & velocity.

If multiple vars: returns an xarray.Dataset of all vars, via self.get_vars.

Determine how to load each var, as follows:

- (caching) if var in self.cache, with matching self.behavior_attrs, use value from cache.

[TODO] - caching not yet implemented. May allow for better efficiency.

- (setvars) if var in self.setvars, with matching self.behavior_attrs, use value from setvars.

[TODO] - improve set_var functionality.

set_var will allow user to apply PlasmaCalcs calculations to arbitrary values,

not just values from one of the hookups. Useful for testing & quick calculations.

- (KNOWN_VARS) if var in self.KNOWN_VARS,

use the corresponding function to get it.

- (KNOWN_PATTERNS) if var matches a pattern from self.KNOWN_PATTERNS,

use the corresponding function to get it.

- (direct) attempt to load var “directly”, via self.load_direct.

load_direct will almost always end up loading values directly from a file (e.g., “data”).

However, there is one more chance for it to get intercepted: via direct_overrides.

- (direct_overrides) if var in self.direct_overrides, attempts self.direct_overrides[var].

The idea is to use direct_overrides when requiring alternate instructions for

what would otherwise be a “base” var.

E.g., ‘n’ may be a “base” var, but if quasineutral then ‘ne’ is not saved in a file;

so, base_overrides[<key for density>] may tell how to get ‘ne’.

Note: for overrides which depend on current state, use direct_overrides_dynamic.

For overrides which are “always” implemented (not toggled by other things), use direct_overrides.

- (fromfile) load_direct uses self.load_fromfile whenever direct_overrides is not applicable.

Those are checked in the order listed.

If none of those work, raise FormulaMissingError.

name: UNSET, None, or str

try to set result.name = name.

UNSET –> use name = var.

item: bool

if True, convert result to single value (e.g., python float) via result.item().

This will cause crash if result is not a single value;

it will also cause all metadata stored in the result to be lost.

verbose: UNSET, bool, or int

set self.verbose during this call to self.

UNSET –> use self.verbose (unchanged)

kw may additionally contain any keys from self.kw_call_options().

if it does, pop those values, and temporarily set the corresponding attr.

E.g.: self(‘n’, units=’si’, fluid=1)

–> temporarily set units=’si’, fluid=1, while getting ‘n’.

See self.help_call_options() for more details.

[EFF] passes _match=re.fullmatch(pattern, var) to the getter function,

if the match is from KNOWN_PATTERNS (but not if it is from KNOWN_VARS).

_apply_toplevel_scale_coords(arr)

apply self.toplevel_scale_coords to arr, if nonempty, else return arr unchanged.

_battrs_for_set_var_internal(behavior_attrs, forall=[], *, ukey=None)

returns behavior_attrs which will be used by set_var_internal, given these inputs.

see help(self.set_var_internal) for details.

_battrs_for_unset_var_internal(behavior_attrs, forall=[], *, ukey=None)

returns behavior_attrs which will be used by unset_var_internal, given these inputs.

see help(self.unset_var_internal) for details.

_call_postprocess(result, *, var, name=UNSET, item=UNSET)

postprocess result from self.__call__. Called during self.__call__.

(self.call_depth inside here will tell depth of the current call; depth=1 for top level.)

result: any value, probably an xarray.DataArray

result from self.__call__, before postprocessing.

var, name, item: UNSET or value

passed directly from self.__call__.

The implementation here does the following (subclasses might override / add to this):

(1) if self.verbose >= 4, print a message about getting var.

(2) result = self.attach_extra_coords(result).

(3) if name was provided, set result.name = name, if possible.

(4) if self.assign_behavior_attrs at this call depth, do so now.

(5) if self.call_depth == 1, call self._call_postprocess_toplevel.

(6) if item, convert result to single value via result.item().

_call_postprocess_toplevel(result, *, var, name=UNSET, item=UNSET)

additional postprocessing for self.__call__ when call_depth=1.

called from self._call_postprocess, after doing other postprocessing, when call_depth=1.

result: any value, probably an xarray.DataArray

result from self.__call__, after other postprocessing (except item).

var, name, item: UNSET or value

passed directly from self.__call__.

Don’t need to handle these here because self._call_postprocess will handle it.

The implementation here does the following (subclasses might override / add to this):

(1) self._apply_toplevel_scale_coords (does nothing if self.toplevel_scale_coords is empty)

_get_maybe_missing_var(var, *args, missing_vars=UNSET, **kw)

return value of var, or None if FormulaMissingError and missing_vars ‘ignore’ or ‘warn’.

missing_vars: UNSET, ‘ignore’, ‘warn’, or ‘raise’

what to do if any var causes FormulaMissingError.

UNSET –> use self.missing_vars if it exists, else ‘raise’.

‘ignore’ –> return None.

‘warn’ –> return None, but also print a warning.

‘raise’ –> raise FormulaMissingError.

_get_stat_var(var, statfunc)

returns result of applying statfunc to self(var), possibly one dimpoint at a time then joining results.

see help(type(self).stats_dimpoint_wise) for details.

_get_stat_var_dimpoint_wise_false(var, statfunc)

returns result of applying statfunc to self(var). (Used when self.stats_dimpoint_wise=False.)

_get_stat_var_dimpoint_wise_true(var, statfunc, min_split=UNSET)

returns result of applying statfunc to self(var). (Used when self.stats_dimpoint_wise=True.)

min_split: UNSET or int

[EFF] min length of dimension before actually applying dimpointwise stats along it.

1 –> no minimum. If MemorySizeError when min_split > 1, try again but with min_split=1.

UNSET –> use DEFAULTS.STATS_DIMPOINT_WISE_MIN_SPLIT.

_get_statfunc_of_var(var, statfunc)

load this stat, for self(var).

_handle_typevar_nan(*, errmsg='')

crash with TypevarNanError if self.typevar_crash_if_nan, else return ‘nan’.

if crashing, use error message:

errmsg + “nTo return ‘nan’ instead of crashing, set self.typevar_crash_if_nan=False.”

classmethod _help_matches(qstr, k, v)

returns whether qstr matches k or v, and thus should be displayed during self.help(qstr).

qstr: str

the str to match; from self.help(qstr)

k: varname

the varname to test for matches.

key from self.KNOWN_VARS.keys(), or key.str from self.KNOWN_PATTERNS.keys().

v: LoadableQuantity

the LoadableQuantity to test for matches.

value from self.KNOWN_VARS.values() or self.KNOWN_PATTERNS.values().

matches if any of these are true:

qstr == ‘’

qstr in k.split(‘_’) # size limitation and split(‘_’) because, e.g. during help(‘n’),

len(qstr)>=3 and qstr in k # want vars related to number density, not all vars with the letter ‘n’.

qstr in module.split(‘.’) (where, module == v.get_f_module(cls))

‘.’ in qstr and qstr in module

len(qstr)>=3 and qstr in value from module.split(‘.’)

len(qstr)>=3 and qstr in v.fname

re.fullmatch(k, qstr) # if k is a Pattern

otherwise, does not match.

_increment_call_depth()

context manager for incrementing call_depth.

use “with self._increment_call_depth():” inside of __call__, e.g.:

def __call__(self, *args, **kw):

with self._increment_call_depth():

# do stuff; possibly including calling self again.

Equivalent to self.call_depth_manager.increment()

_pop_kw_call_options(kw)

pop all self.kw_call_options() from kw, returning dict of popped options.

_print_or_warn(msg, debug_thresh=1)

if DEBUG>=debug_thresh, print msg. Else, warnings.warn(msg).

_provided_val(var, _val=None, _known_vals={})

returns the value of var, either from _known_vals or _val.

if _val provided, return it; if ‘_{var}’ in _known_vals, return it;

if both provided, crash with InputConflictError (unless they are the same object),

else, return None.

Can use this internally to avoid redundant recalculations. (See e.g. VectorArithmeticLoader)

property assign_behavior_attrs

whether to assign self.behavior values as attrs of result when calling self.

False –> don’t use self.behavior code architecture to assign attrs.

True –> equivalent to ‘nondefault’

‘nondefault’ –> self.behavior.assign_nondefault_attrs(result)

(for brevity, it does not assign behavior attrs with “default” value.)

‘all’ –> self.behavior.assign_attrs(result).

[EFF] only assigns attrs at call_depth >= self.assign_behavior_attrs_max_call_depth.

(default: only assigns attrs at call_depth=1, i.e. at top level.

property assign_behavior_attrs_max_call_depth

max call_depth at which to assign_behavior_attrs to result,

if self.assign_behavior_attrs indicates to assign behavior attrs.

default 1, i.e. only assign if at top level.

Use None to indicate “no max detph”.

property assign_behavior_attrs_skip_xr

whether to use include_xr=False if self.assign_behavior_attrs,

during self.behavior.assign_nondefault_attrs.

Use this if you want to assign behavior attrs EXCEPT array-valued behavior attrs.

attach_extra_coords(arr)

attach any self.extra_coords to array arr but only if it is an xarray.DataArray or xarray.Dataset

property behavior

dict of {attr: self.attr} for attr in self.behavior_attrs. Note dims are separate;

dims go in behavior.dims. E.g. Behavior({‘units’:’si’,…}, dims={‘snap’:0,…}).

property behavior_attrs

list of attrs in self which control behavior of self.

Here, returns self.cls_behavior_attrs.

Subclasses could override if any behavior attrs are not known at the class-level,

e.g. if MySubclass’s list of behavior attrs varies between instances of MySubclass.

property call_depth

depth of the current call to self. depth = number of calls to self from within self.

E.g., call_depth while calculating gyrofrequency:

# call_depth == 0, for any code run here (outside any call to self).

self(‘gyrof’)

# call_depth == 1, for any code run here (inside ‘gyrof’ call but not inside deeper calls).

q = self(‘q’)

# call_depth == 2, for code inside ‘q’ call.

mod_B = self(‘mod_B’)

# call_depth == 2, for code inside ‘mod_B’ call.

self(‘B’)

# call_depth == 3, for code inside ‘B’ call.

m = self(‘m’)

# call_depth == 2, for code inside ‘m’ call.

result = q * mod_B / m

Cannot be set directly; can only be manipulated via self.call_depth_manager.

property call_depth_manager

stores the value of call_depth, and helps to manage attrs dependent on call_depth value.

classmethod cls_help(qstr=None, only=None, *, tree=None, modules=False, signature=False, doc=True, dense=False, print=True, **kw)

prints str for help with quants. Fails for any quants which depend on present values of a cls instance.

qstr: None or str

None –> tells info about this class & how to use this function.

in particular, tells that quants are stored cls.KNOWN_VARS and cls.KNOWN_PATTERNS,

and describes behavior of calling help with a string.

str –> return str for help with all quants related to str.

use empty str to get help for all quants.

only: None or str

If provided, only get help for a subset of relevant quantities.

None –> get help with all quantities related to qstr.

‘VARS’ –> only get help with KNOWN_VARS.

‘PATTERNS’ –> only get help with KNOWN_PATTERNS.

‘TREE’ –> only get help with quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(str).

‘EXACT’ –> only get help for the KNOWN_VAR exactly matching qstr.

if provided when qstr is None, treat qstr as ‘’ instead.

tree: None or bool

How much help to give for quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).

False –> don’t even check cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).

True –> help for all quantities in cls.cls_var_tree.

None –> help for quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).flat_branches_until_vars()

i.e. patterns & vars in tree but ignore any nodes with LoadableVar ancestors.

e.g. qstr=’mean_mod_beta’ –> help with ‘mean_(.+)’, ‘mod_(.+)’, and ‘beta’,

but no help with dependencies of ‘beta’ (‘q’, ‘mod_B’, ‘m’).

modules: bool

Whether to include modules in result.

If True, result will be grouped into sections with modules written at top.

signature: signature: bool

whether to include line with signature in help string.

e.g. “help_str(f, *, module=True, signature=True, indent=None)”

doc: doc: bool

whether to include lines with docstring in help string.

e.g. “return str for help(f).” … and all the other docs in here.

dense: bool

Whether to reduce whitespace in result.

E.g. True –> no newlines between functions. False –> one newline between functions.

print: bool

whether to print the result. If False, return the result instead of printing.

classmethod cls_var_tree(var, *, missing_ok=False)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.

missing_ok: bool

whether to be lenient sometimes when missing details that would allow to fully determine deps.

see help(MatchedQuantity.dep_vars) for more details.

copy()

returns a deep copy of self.

[TODO] implement something less hacky than using the pickle module?

property direct_overrides

dict of {var: override} for all overrides of self which don’t depend on behavior_attrs of self.

For example, if user wants to set an override (or if setvars sets an override?), it will be here.

See also: self.direct_overrides_dynamic().

direct_overrides_dynamic()

returns dict of {var: override} for all overrides of self which depend on behavior_attrs of self.

property enable_fromfile

bool: whether self.load_fromfile is enabled during self.load_direct.

If False, raise QuantCalcError if load_direct can’t get value without load_fromfile().

property extra_coords

dict of {coord_name: coord_value} to attach to outputs of self(var).

Useful if planning to join the output of self(var) with output from a different QuantityLoader.

E.g. self.extra_coords={‘run’: ‘run 0’} and other.extra_coords={‘run’: ‘run 1’},

then xr.concat([self(‘n’), other(‘n’)], ‘run’) gives ‘n’ from self AND other.

(this is nice if self and other have same values for dims. Otherwise, might struggle.)

get_nmean(var, *, _match=None)

mean of var, weighted by n. nmean = sum(var * n) / sum(n). n=self(‘n’).

Equivalent: ‘nmean_var’ <–> ‘weighted_n_mean_var’

get_prod(var, *, _match=None)

prod. prod(var). Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

get_rms(var, *, _match=None)

root mean square. sqrt(mean(var**2)). Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

get_set_or_cached(var)

returns var if found in self.setvars or self.cache, with compatible behavior_attrs.

otherwise, raise CacheNotApplicableError.

if var is found in self.setvars and has relevant, but not matching behavior_attrs,

self.load_across_dims will be used to load the value.

get_stats(var, *, _match=None)

return dataset of stats for var

stats include: mean, std, min, max, median, rms.

Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

Incompatible with Dataset vars.

Consider also: self(‘astats_var’), self(‘var’).pc.stats()

get_std(var, *, _match=None)

standard deviation. std(var). Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

get_sum(var, *, _match=None)

sum. sum(var). Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

get_vars(vars, *args, return_type='dataset', missing_vars=UNSET, **kw)

returns values of vars from self.

result is probably an xarray.Dataset, but not guaranteed; also depends on return_type.

Equivalent to self(vars, *args, return_type=’dataset’, **kw).

(Actually, self(vars, …) will call self.get_vars(vars, …).)

vars: iterable of strs

Names of the vars to load. [‘n’, ‘u’] for number density & velocity.

if any of these vars returns a return_type object, expand its keys,

e.g. if ‘myDSvar’ returns dataset with ‘myvar1’, ‘myvar2’,

then [‘n’, ‘myDSvar’] gives dataset with ‘n’, ‘myvar1’, ‘myvar2’.

return_type: ‘dataset’ or ‘dict’

if ‘dataset’, return result as xarray.Dataset.

the data_var names will be the same as the var names.

if ‘dict’, return result as dict of {var: value}.

missing_vars: UNSET, ‘ignore’, ‘warn’, or ‘raise’

what to do if any vars cause FormulaMissingError.

UNSET –> use self.missing_vars if it exists, else ‘raise’.

‘ignore’ –> ignore missing vars, and don’t include them in the result.

‘warn’ –> ignore missing vars, but print a warning.

‘raise’ –> raise FormulaMissingError if any vars are missing.

additional args & kwargs are passed to self(…).

get_weighted_mean(weights_var, *, _match=None)

mean, weighted by weights. mean(weights*var)/mean(weights).

E.g. ‘weighted_n_mean_T’ –> mean(n * T) / mean(n).

Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

get_weighted_std(weights_var, *, _match=None)

std, weighted by weights. std(weights*var)/mean(weights).

E.g. ‘weighted_n_std_mod_u’ –> std(n * mod_u) / mean(n).

(see also: ‘nstd_[var]’, which is a shorthand for ‘weighted_n_std_[var]’)

Applied only along any self.stat_dims in array.

Currently, equivalent to self(‘(std_({weights}*{var}))/mean(weights)’)

[TODO][EFF] internally, don’t compute weights twice…

get_werr2pmstd(var, *, _match=None)

convert dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’ into dataset with ‘mean+std’, ‘mean’, ‘mean-std’.

werr2pmstd_var will crash if self(var) doesn’t have ‘mean’ and ‘std’ data vars.

get_werradd(var, *, _match=None)

A_werradd_B = A + B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,

assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:

mean(A + B) = mean(A) + mean(B)

std(A + B) = sqrt(std(A)**2 + std(B)**2)

(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)

get_werrdiv(var, *, _match=None)

A_werrdiv_B = A / B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,

assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:

z = A / B

mean(z) = mean(A) / mean(B)

std(z) = abs(mean(z)) * sqrt((std(A)/mean(A))**2 + (std(B)/mean(B))**2)

(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)

get_werrmean(var, *, _match=None)

dataset of ‘mean’ and ‘std’ of var. Computed along self.stat_dims in array.

get_werrmeant(var, *, _match=None)

dataset of ‘mean’ and ‘std’ of var, taking stats across time dimension.

self(werrmeant_var) –> self(var).werrmean(tdim), where tdim is the dim associated with time,

(tdim default ‘snap’, but if ‘t’ coord associated with a dim, use that dim.)

get_werrmul(var, *, _match=None)

A_werrmul_B = A * B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,

assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:

z = A * B

mean(z) = mean(A) * mean(B)

std(z) = abs(mean(z)) * sqrt((std(A)/mean(A))**2 + (std(B)/mean(B))**2)

(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)

get_werrsub(var, *, _match=None)

A_werrsub_B = A - B, but result is a dataset with ‘mean’ and ‘std’.

Does not take any means or stds here, but if A or B has ‘std’ already,

assumes independent errors and applies “error propagation” formula:

mean(A - B) = mean(A) - mean(B)

std(A - B) = sqrt(std(A)**2 + std(B)**2)

(if A or B is DataArray, treat as ‘mean’. if missing ‘std’, assume 0.)

has_var(var)

return whether self can load var. True if self.match_var(var) is found, else False.

Subclasses might override, to include checks for whether var can be loaded from data.

[TODO] also check if var in self.cache or self.setvars.

help(qstr=None, only=None, *, tree=None, modules=False, signature=False, doc=True, dense=False, print=True)

prints str for help with quants.

qstr: None or str

None –> help for quantities in cls.cls_var_tree(qstr).flat_branches_until_vars()

i.e. patterns & vars in tree but ignore any nodes with LoadableVar ancestors.

e.g. qstr=’mean_mod_beta’ –> help with ‘mean_(.+)’, ‘mod_(.+)’, and ‘beta’,

but no help with dependencies of ‘beta’ (‘q’, ‘mod_B’, ‘m’).

modules: bool

Whether to include modules in result.

If True, result will be grouped into sections with modules written at top.

help_call_options(search=None)

prints help for kw_call_options.

if search is provided, only print help for keys containing search.

classmethod help_quants_str(qstr=None, only=None, *, tree=None, modules=True, signature=False, doc=True, dense=False, _instance=None)

returns str for help with quants.

qstr: None or str

None –> tells info about this class & how to use this function.

dense: bool

Whether to reduce whitespace in result.

E.g. True –> no newlines between functions. False –> one newline between functions.

_instance: None or QuantityLoader instance

if provided, use _instance.match_var_tree() instead of cls.cls_var_tree().

classmethod help_str(qstr=None, only=None, **kw)

returns cls.help_quants_str(qstr=qstr, only=only, **kw).

cls.help() calls help_str.

subclasses might overwrite help_str, but probably won’t touch help_quants_str.

kw_call_options(*, sorted=True)

returns list of kwarg names which can be used to set attrs self during self.__call__.

(see self.__call__ for more details).

Here, returns list(self.behavior_attrs) + list(self._extra_kw_for_quantity_loader_call)

load_direct(var, *args, **kw)

load var “directly”, from some source which is not known by the main part of PlasmaCalcs.

Attempt the following, returning the first successful attempt:

- return self.direct_overrides[var](self, *args, **kw).

- return self.direct_overrides_dynamic()[var](self, *args, **kw).

- use self.load_fromfile.

return the result (probably a numpy array, but not guaranteed).

Examples:

load Bx directly from a file

load n for H+, using a different module which somehow gives nH+

(PlasmaCalcs doesn’t need to know where the value came from.)

if used an override, instead of loading from file,

set self._load_direct_used_override = var.

Otherwise, set it to None.

This might be used, e.g., to determine if the output came directly from a file or not.

load_fromfile(var, *args, **kw)

load var directly from a file. Other methods should usually use load_direct, instead.

the implementation here just raises LoadingNotImplementedError;

subclasses should implement this method in order to load any values from files.

property maintaining

alias to maintaining_attrs

maintaining_attrs(*attrs, **attrs_as_flags)

returns context manager which restores attrs of self to their original values, upon exit.

E.g. maintaining_attrs(obj, ‘attr1’, ‘attr2’, attr3=True, attr4=False)

–> will restore upon exit, original values of obj.attr1, attr2, and attr3, but not attr4.

classmethod match_var(var, *, check=['KNOWN_VARS', 'KNOWN_PATTERNS'])

match var from cls.KNOWN_VARS or cls.KNOWN_PATTERNS, or raise FormulaMissingError.

returns result=MatchedQuantity(var, loadable, _match=_match) where:

loadable is the LoadableQuantity associated with this var,

_match is:

None, if var in cls.KNOWN_VARS;

re.fullmatch(pattern, var), if var matches any pattern in cls.KNOWN_PATTERNS.

if var matches multiple patterns, only the first matching pattern is used.

Uses MatchedVar if match from KNOWN_VARS, MatchedPattern if from KNOWN_PATTERNS.

(note that both MatchedVar and MatchedPattern subclass MatchedQuantity.)

check: str or list of str from [‘KNOWN_VARS’, ‘KNOWN_PATTERNS’]

where to check for matches. Default is to check KNOWN_VARS and KNOWN_PATTERNS.

E.g. to only check KNOWN_PATTERNS, use check=[‘KNOWN_PATTERNS’].

loadable and _match can be retrieved via result.loadable and result._match.

match_var_loading_dims(var, **kw_loading_dims)

return dims for loading var across.

Result will probably vary across these dims (but not guaranteed, if any dependency uses reduces_dims.)

These are all Dimension dims, not maindims. (E.g. ‘fluid’ and ‘snap’, but not ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’).

Equivalent: self.match_var_tree(var).loading_dims(**kw_loading_dims)

match_var_result_dims(var, **kw_result_dims)

return dims which result of cls(var) will vary across.

These are all Dimension dims, not maindims. (E.g. ‘fluid’ and ‘snap’, but not ‘x’, ‘y’, ‘z’).

Equivalent: cls.match_var_tree(var).result_dims(**kw_result_dims)

match_var_result_size(var, *, maindims=True, **kw_result_dims)

return size (number of elements) which self(var) will have.

(Efficient; doesn’t actually get self(var).)

Depends on current values of relevant dims. (E.g., self.fluid, not self.fluids)

maindims: bool

if True, include maindims_shape when calculating size.

match_var_tree(var=UNSET, **kw_quant_tree_from_quantity_loader)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.

var must be provided; var=UNSET will raise an error (helpful if tried calling this as a classmethod).

See also: type(self).cls_var_tree, for the classmethod version of this function.

Most of the time it is possible to get tree without any details from self,

but sometimes not. e.g. when getting collision frequencies, self.fluid affects deps.

additional kwargs will be passed to QuantTree.from_quantity_loader(…),

which passes kwargs from self.kw_call_options() into self.using(**kw) while getting deps.

matched_pattern_cls

alias of MatchedPattern

matched_var_cls

alias of MatchedVar

property nondim_behavior_attrs

list of attrs in self which control behavior of self, but which are NOT in self.dimensions.

quant_tree(var=UNSET, **kw_quant_tree_from_quantity_loader)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.

var must be provided; var=UNSET will raise an error (helpful if tried calling this as a classmethod).

See also: type(self).cls_var_tree, for the classmethod version of this function.

Most of the time it is possible to get tree without any details from self,

but sometimes not. e.g. when getting collision frequencies, self.fluid affects deps.

additional kwargs will be passed to QuantTree.from_quantity_loader(…),

which passes kwargs from self.kw_call_options() into self.using(**kw) while getting deps.

quant_tree_cls

alias of QuantTree

property set

alias to set_var

set_var(var, value, behavior_attrs=None, forall=[], *, ukey=None, forced=False, **kw_using)

set var in self. When later doing self(var) to get var, return the set value,

but only if self.behavior is compatible with the relevant parts of self.behavior when var was set.

This function will use, if it exists:

self.KNOWN_SETTERS[var](self, value, behavior_attrs, forall=forall)

Otherwise, calls:

self.set_var_internal(var, value, self.behavior_attrs, forall=forall)

var: str

the var to set in self.

value: number, xarray, iterable or 1D array, array with shape matching self.maindims_shape.

the value to set var to.

number –> set var to this number.

xarray –> set var to this xarray.

[TODO](not yet implemented) iterable or 1D array –> set var to these values along dim=’testing’.

[TODO](not yet implemented) array with shape matching self.maindims_shape –> set var to this array.

behavior_attrs: None or list

tells which attrs from self control behavior of the set var.

The set var will only be retrieved when behavior_attrs of self are compatible.

E.g. set_var(‘n’, [‘fluid’, ‘snap’]) –> saves ‘n’ in cache with current fluid & snap.

Will only load ‘n’ if self.fluid and self.snap == cached fluid and snap for ‘n’.

if var in self.KNOWN_SETTERS, cannot provide behavior_attrs here.

else, use self.behavior_attrs if None.

forall: list of strings

if provided, tells which attrs of self do NOT control the behavior of the set var.

E.g. forall=[‘snap’] –> ‘snap’ will NOT be included in behavior_attrs.

(anything in behavior_attrs AND forall will be removed from the final behavior_attrs)

ukey: None or str

if provided, tells string to give to UnitsManager when converting value’s units.

When ukey is known, setting value in any unit system will enable to read it in all unit systems.

E.g. set_var(‘n’, 1e10, …, ukey=’n’, units=’si’)

–> self(‘n’, units=’raw’) == self(‘n’, units=’si’) * self.u(‘u’, ‘raw’, convert_from=’si’)

if not provided, value will be associated with current unit system;

attempted to read value in any other unit system will not used the cached value set here.

E.g. set_var(‘u’, 1e10, …, units=’si’) # ukey not provided

–> self(‘u’, units=’raw’) –> uses self’s other logic for getting ‘u’, not from setvars.

note: if provided, ‘units’ will be added to behavior_attrs if not already in there.

forced: bool, default True

handles the case where self.KNOWN_SETTERS[var] doesn’t exist. In that case…

True –> set var in self, anyway.

False –> crash; raise FormulaMissingError

additional kwargs, if provided, go to self.using(**kw) during the operation.

returns list of set quantities.

set_var_internal(var, value, behavior_attrs, forall=[], *, ukey=None)

set var in self. KNOWN_SETTERS functions may wish to use this method.

(KNOWN_SETTERS functions should NOT use self.set_var, to avoid recursion issue.)

This function has the internal logic for self.set_var;

set_var calls set_var_internal when self.KNOWN_SETTERS[var] not provided.

var: str

the var to set in self.

value: number, xarray, iterable or 1D array, array with shape matching self.maindims_shape.

the value to set var to. See help(self.set_var) for more info.

behavior_attrs: list of strings

the behavior attrs relevant to setting this var;

getting var only gives value when current behavior attrs values are compatible with the cached ones.

forall: list of strings

if provided, tells which behavior attrs do NOT control the behavior of the set var.

e.g. behavior_attrs=[‘snap’, ‘fluid’], forall=[‘snap’] –> use [‘fluid’], only.

ukey: None or str

if provided, tells string to give to UnitsManager when converting value’s units;

when ukey is provided, can retrieve value in any unit system (probably ‘si’ or ‘raw’).

when ukey not provided, if ‘units’ in used behavior attrs, can only retrieve value in that unit system.

property setvar

alias to set_var

property setvars

VarCache of vars set via self.set_var(). Returns these values when appropriate,

i.e. whenever self.behavior is compatible with the behavior in the cache.

To empty the cache, use self.setvars.clear() to empty the cache.

property stat_dims

the dims over which to possibly apply statistics (StatsLoader methods).

will only apply statics along these dims for an array if they actually appear in the array.

None –> use self.maindims. (this is the default.)

See also: self.stat_dims_for(array).

stat_dims_for(array)

return the dims to apply statistics over, for this array.

Here, returns tuple of d from self.stat_dims if d in array.dims.

property stats_dimpoint_wise

whether to apply stat calculations at each DimPoint, or after loading the full array.

[EFF] this setting is just for efficiency; it doesn’t affect results (when no MemorySizeError crash).

True –> apply stat calculations to each array (at each DimPoint) before joining arrays.

e.g., self(‘mean_n’) gets ‘mean_n’ at each fluid & snap, then joins results.

False –> join arrays across all DimPoints before applying stat calculations.

e.g., self(‘mean_n’) gets ‘n’ (which varies across fluid & snap), then takes mean.

None –> if result.size will be > DEFAULTS.STATS_DIMPOINT_WISE_MIN_N / self.get_ncpu(), use True.

otherwise try using False, then use True if MemorySizeError is raised.

(True seems to be faster for large arrays but slower for small arrays.

But also, when ncpu>1, loading across dimpoints is faster due to parallelization.)

regardless of this setting, stat calculations are applied only along self.stat_dims(array).

property toplevel_scale_coords

dict of {coord_name: coord_scaling} to apply to top-level outputs of self(var).

(Never applies to internal calls of self(var), only applies at self.call_depth==1.)

Useful if making plots and want to scale coords by some factor.

E.g., self.toplevel_scale_coords = {‘t’: 1000} to convert s to ms.

CAUTION: coord units labels will remain unaffected.

tree(var=UNSET, **kw_quant_tree_from_quantity_loader)

return QuantTree of MatchedQuantity objects from matching var and all dependencies,

using self.KNOWN_VARS and self.KNOWN_PATTERNS when searching for matches.

var must be provided; var=UNSET will raise an error (helpful if tried calling this as a classmethod).

See also: type(self).cls_var_tree, for the classmethod version of this function.

Most of the time it is possible to get tree without any details from self,

but sometimes not. e.g. when getting collision frequencies, self.fluid affects deps.

additional kwargs will be passed to QuantTree.from_quantity_loader(…),

which passes kwargs from self.kw_call_options() into self.using(**kw) while getting deps.

property typevar_crash_if_nan

bool. whether to crash methods if typevar output would be ‘nan’.

False –> return NaN when typevar gives ‘nan’, instead of crashing.

“typevar” here refers to any var used for checking which formula to use, from various options,

e.g. ‘ntype’ in MhdMultifluidLoader or ‘ionfrac_type’ in MhdIonizationLoader.

The relevant methods can check if self.typevar_crash_if_nan before returning a ‘nan’ result.

property unset

alias to unset_var

unset_var(var, behavior_attrs=[], *, missing_ok=True, **kw_using)

remove var from self.setvars (but only at values stored with relevant behavior).

[TODO] define rules for which vars unset which other vars…

e.g. for eppic right now, set_var(‘n’) sets ‘den’ but not ‘n’;

unset_var(‘n’) unsets nothing… but should probably alias to unset_var(‘den’).

behavior_attrs: list of strings

only remove cached values where self.behavior matches cached behavior for these attrs.

if empty, remove all cached values for var, regardless of associated behavior.

missing_ok: bool

whether it is okay for there to be zero matching cached values for var.

raise CacheNotApplicableError if missing_ok=False when there are no matching cached values.

additional kwargs, if provided, go to self.using(**kw) during the operation.

return list of CachedQuantity objects which were removed from self.setvars.

unset_var_internal(var, behavior_attrs, forall=[], *, ukey=None, missing_ok=True)

unset var from self.setvars.

KNOWN_SETTERS functions may wish to use this method, to unset dependent values.

E.g. if u depends on n, and n is changed, may wish to unset the value of u.

behavior_attrs: list of strings

the behavior attrs relevant to setting this var.

forall: list of strings

if provided, tells which behavior attrs to ignore when unsetting the var.

ukey: None or string

if provided, ignore ‘units’ behavior attr when unsetting the var

(due to assuming that ukey was provided when setting the var,

hence that the set var could be retrieved in any units system)

missing_ok: bool

whether it is okay for there to be zero matching cached values for var.

raise CacheNotApplicableError if missing_ok=False when there are no matching cached values.

return list of CachedQuantity objects which were removed from self.setvars.

property using

alias to using_attrs

using_at_call_depth(depth, **attrs_and_values)

context manager for setting attrs_and_values but only while call_depth == depth.

E.g.:

with self.using_at_call_depth(3, verbose=3):

self(‘sgyrof’)

# while self.call_depth == 3 inside of this ‘with’ block, uses self.verbose=3.

# but everywhere else, uses original value of verbose.

# assuming originally verbose=False (or unset), this example will print:

| | (call_depth=2) get var=’q’

| | (call_depth=2) get var=’mod_B’

| | (call_depth=2) get var=’m’

# compare this to simply using self.verbose=3, which would print:

| (call_depth=1) get var=’sgyrof’

| | (call_depth=2) get var=’q’

| | (call_depth=2) get var=’mod_B’

| | | (call_depth=3) get var=’B_dot_B’

| | | | (call_depth=4) get var=’B_xyz’

| | | | | (call_depth=5) get var=’B’

| | (call_depth=2) get var=’m’

Equivalent to self.call_depth_manager.using_obj_attrs_at(depth, **attrs_and_values)

using_at_next_call_depth(**attrs_and_values)

context manager for setting attrs_and_values but only while call_depth == self.call_depth + 1

Equivalent to self.using_at_call_depth(self.call_depth + 1, **attrs_and_values).

(Also equivalent to self.call_depth_manager.using_obj_attrs_at_next(**attrs_and_values).)

using_attrs(attrs_as_dict={}, _unset_sentinel=ATTR_UNSET, **attrs_and_values)

returns context manager which sets attrs of obj upon entry; restores original values upon exit.

_unset_sentinel: any value, default ATTR_UNSET

upon entry, delete any attrs with value _unset_sentinel (compared via ‘is’).

E.g. using_attrs(obj, _unset_sentinel=None, x=None) –> del obj.x upon entry.

property werrmath_require_std

whether to require ‘std’ data var appear in at least 1 input for all werrmath operations.

E.g. if True and doing A_werradd_B but neither A nor B has ‘std’, crash with InputError.
