Library based on matplotlib (>=3.3) to draw the pyrochlore lattice (corner-sharing tetrahedra) and configurations of the Spin Ice model.
$ pip install pyrodraw
It can, and probably should, be executed as a script:
python -m pyrodraw [<parameters>...]
and follow the instructions which appear on the screen.
Depending on the parameters supplied:
- No arguments: draws only the pyrochlore lattices and adds details such as names to the axes.
- '+ z': draws the spin ice +z configuration.
- 'ms': draws the saturation configuration with the field at [111], with positives simple monopoles in all Up Tetrahedra.
- 'md': draws the configuration with positive double monopoles in all Up Tetrahedra.
- Name of a file along with a column number: the data is obtained from it to draw the configuration.
It's also possible to import it and use it to draw more specific configurations.
The following are things I didn't know how to do it properly by the time I built the library, and for the purpose of the project it didn't worth changing them when I published it.
- The documentation is not properly done (doesn't follow a docstring convention), and it's in spanish.
- It probably should use
argparsefor managing the arguments.
- Add a circle path as a bottom lid for the arrows.
- Be possible to annotate the field direction when using the field arrow.
