sisl.io.siesta.gridSileSiesta

class sisl.io.siesta.gridSileSiesta(filename, mode='r', *args, **kwargs)

Bases: _gridSileSiesta

Binary real-space grid file

The Siesta binary grid sile will automatically convert the units from Siesta units (Bohr, Ry) to sisl units (Ang, eV) provided the correct extension is present.

Methods

base_directory([relative_to])	Retrieve the base directory of the file, relative to the path relative_to
dir_file([filename, filename_base])	File of the current Sile
read(*args, **kwargs)	Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes
read_grid([index, dtype])	Read grid contained in the Grid file
read_grid_size()	Query grid size information such as the grid size and number of spin components
read_lattice(*args, **kwargs)	Return the cell contained in the file
write(*args, **kwargs)	Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes
write_grid(*grids)	Write the grid to the file

Attributes

base_file	File of the current Sile
file	File of the current Sile
grid_unit

base_directory(relative_to='.')

Retrieve the base directory of the file, relative to the path relative_to

dir_file(filename=None, filename_base='')

File of the current Sile

read(*args, **kwargs)

Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters:

kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute read_<> and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

read_grid(index=0, dtype=np.float64, *args, **kwargs) → Grid

Read grid contained in the Grid file

Parameters:

• index (int or str or array_like, optional) – the spin-index for retrieving one of the components. If a vector is passed it refers to the fraction per indexed component. I.e. [0.5, 0.5] will return sum of half the first two components. Default to the first component.

• dtype (numpy.float64, optional) – default data-type precision

• spin (optional) – same as index argument. spin argument has precedence.

read_grid_size()

Query grid size information such as the grid size and number of spin components

Returns:

• int (number of spin-components)

• mesh (3 values for the number of mesh-elements)

read_lattice(*args, **kwargs) → Lattice

Return the cell contained in the file

write(*args, **kwargs)

Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters:

**kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute write_ and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

write_grid(*grids: Grid) → None

Write the grid to the file

property base_file
