add(*args)

Add a new value to the time series and extend the associated time grid.

Available usages:

add(sample)

add(timeSeries)

Parameters:
sample2-d sequence of float, of dimension the same as the dimension of the values of the time series.
timeSeriesTimeSeries, which time grid must match with the initial time grid (one follows the other).
Returns:
newTimeSeries: TimeSeries, which regular grid has been extended with a new time stamp or a second time grid, associated to the new values.
asDeformedMesh(*args)

Get the mesh deformed according to the values of the field.

Parameters:
verticesPaddingsequence of int

The positions at which the coordinates of vertices are set to zero when extending the vertices dimension. By default the sequence is empty.

valuesPaddingsequence of int

The positions at which the components of values are set to zero when extending the values dimension. By default the sequence is empty.

Returns:
deformedMeshMesh

The initial mesh is deformed as follows: each vertex of the mesh is translated by the value of the field at this vertex. Only works when the input dimension n: is equal to the dimension of the field d after extension.

draw()

Draw the first marginal of the field if the input dimension is less than 2.

Returns:
graphGraph

Calls drawMarginal(0, False).

See also

drawMarginal
drawMarginal(index=0, interpolate=True)

Draw one marginal field if the input dimension is less than 2.

Parameters:
indexint

The selected marginal.

interpolatebool

Indicates whether the values at the vertices are linearly interpolated.

Returns:
graphGraph
  • If the dimension of the mesh is n=1 and interpolate=True: it draws the graph of the piecewise linear function based on the selected marginal values of the field and the vertices coordinates (in \Rset).

  • If the dimension of the mesh is n=1 and interpolate=False: it draws the cloud of points which coordinates are (vertex, value of the marginal index).

  • If the dimension of the mesh is n=2 and interpolate=True: it draws several iso-values curves of the selected marginal, based on a piecewise linear interpolation within the simplices (triangles) of the mesh. You get an empty graph if the vertices are not connected through simplicies.

  • If the dimension of the mesh is n=2 and interpolate=False: if the vertices are connected through simplicies, each simplex is drawn with a color defined by the mean of the values of the vertices of the simplex. In the other case, it draws each vertex colored by its value.

exportToVTKFile(fileName)

Create the VTK format file of the field.

Parameters:
myVTKFilestr

Name of the output file. No extension is append to the filename.

Notes

Creates the VTK format file that contains the mesh and the associated values that can be visualised with the open source software Paraview .

getClassName()

Accessor to the object’s name.

Returns:
class_namestr

The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).

getDescription()

nint

Dimension of the domain \cD: n.

getInputMean()

Get the input weighted mean of the values of the field.

Returns:
inputMeanPoint

Weighted mean of the values of the field, weighted by the volume of each simplex.

Notes

The input mean of the field is defined by:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{V} \sum_{S_i \in \cM} \left( \frac{1}{n+1}\sum_{k=0}^{n} \vect{v}_{i_k}\right) |S_i|

where S_i is the simplex of index i of the mesh, |S_i| its volume and (\vect{v}_{i_0}, \dots, \vect{v}_{i_n}) the values of the field associated to the vertices of S_i, and \displaystyle V=\sum_{S_i \in \cD} |S_i|.

getMarginal(*args)

Index of the marginal.

Returns:
dint

Dimension of the field values: d.

getOutputMean()

Get the mean of the values of the field.

Returns:
temporalMeanPoint

Mean of the values of the field.

Notes

If we note (\vect{x}_0, \dots, \vect{x}_{N-1}) the values in \Rset^d of the field, then the temporal mean is defined by:

\displaystyle  \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=0}^{N-1} \vect{v}_i

Only makes sense in the case of a regular grid.

getTimeGrid()

Get the mesh as a time grid if it is 1D and regular.

Returns:
timeGridRegularGrid

Mesh of the field when it can be interpreted as a RegularGrid. We check if the vertices of the mesh are scalar and are regularly spaced in \Rset but we don’t check if the connectivity of the mesh is conform to the one of a regular grid (without any hole and composed of ordered instants).

getValueAtIndex(index)

Get the value of the field at the vertex of the given index.

indexint

Returns:
valuePoint

The value of the field associated to the selected vertex, in \Rset^d.
