Differentiation and Evaluation

Visualization of Potentials

sumpy.visualization.make_field_plotter_from_bbox(bbox, h, extend_factor=0)

Parameters

• bbox – a tuple (low, high) of points represented as 1D numpy arrays indicating the low and high ends of the extent of a bounding box.

• h – Either a number or a sequence of numbers indicating the desired (approximate) grid spacing in all or each of the dimensions. If a sequence, the length must match the number of dimensions.

• extend_factor – A floating point number indicating by what percentage the plot area should be grown compared to bbox.

Differentiation of Potentials

class sumpy.point_calculus.CalculusPatch(center, h=0.1, order=4, nodes='chebyshev')

Support for Numerical Experiments with Expansions

This module provides a convenient interface for numerical experiments with local and multipole expansions.

class sumpy.toys.ToyContext(cl_context, kernel, mpole_expn_class=None, local_expn_class=None, expansion_factory=None, extra_source_kwargs=None, extra_kernel_kwargs=None)

This class functions as a container for generated code and ‘behind-the-scenes’ information.

__init__(cl_context, kernel, mpole_expn_class=None, local_expn_class=None, expansion_factory=None, extra_source_kwargs=None, extra_kernel_kwargs=None)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

class sumpy.toys.PotentialSource(toy_ctx)

A base class for all classes representing potentials that can be evaluated anywhere in space.

eval(targets)

Supports (lazy) arithmetic:

__neg__()

__add__(other)

__radd__(other)

__sub__(other)

__rsub__(other)

__mul__(other)

__rmul__(other)

class sumpy.toys.ConstantPotential(toy_ctx, value)

__init__(toy_ctx, value)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

class sumpy.toys.PointSources(toy_ctx, points, weights, center=None)

points

[ndim, npoints]

__init__(toy_ctx, points, weights, center=None)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

These functions manipulate these potentials:

sumpy.toys.multipole_expand(psource, center, order=None, rscale=1, **expn_kwargs)

sumpy.toys.local_expand(psource, center, order=None, rscale=1, **expn_kwargs)

sumpy.toys.logplot(fp, psource, **kwargs)

sumpy.toys.combine_inner_outer(psource_inner, psource_outer, radius, center=None)

sumpy.toys.combine_halfspace(psource_pos, psource_neg, axis, center=None)

sumpy.toys.combine_halfspace_and_outer(psource_pos, psource_neg, psource_outer, axis, radius=None, center=None)

These functions help with plotting:

sumpy.toys.draw_box(el, eh, **kwargs)

sumpy.toys.draw_circle(center, radius, **kwargs)

sumpy.toys.draw_annotation(to_pt, from_pt, label, arrowprops=None, **kwargs)

Parameters

• to_pt – Head of arrow

• from_pt – Tail of arrow

• label – Annotation label

• arrowprops – Passed to arrowprops

• kwargs – Passed to annotate

sumpy.toys.draw_schematic(psource, **kwargs)

These are created behind the scenes and are not typically directly instantiated by users:

class sumpy.toys.OneOnBallPotential(toy_ctx, center, radius)

__init__(toy_ctx, center, radius)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

class sumpy.toys.HalfspaceOnePotential(toy_ctx, center, axis, side=1)

__init__(toy_ctx, center, axis, side=1)

Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

class sumpy.toys.ExpansionPotentialSource(toy_ctx, center, rscale, order, coeffs, derived_from, radius=None, expn_style=None, text_kwargs=None)

radius

Not used mathematically. Just for visualization, purely advisory.

text_kwargs

Passed to matplotlib.pyplot.annotate(). Used for customizing the expansion label. Changing the label text is supported by passing the kwarg s. Just for visualization, purely advisory.
