Utils

Some utility functions that can be used throughout the package.

prodimopy.utils.calc_dustcolumnd(model)[source]

Calculated the vertical column density for every species at every point in the disk (from top to bottom). Very simple and rough method.

Parameters:

model – the ProDiMo model

Return cd:

mass column density for the dust at every point

TODO: maye put this back into the data structure as util function or both=

prodimopy.utils.load_mplstyle(stylename='prodimopy')[source]

Simple utility function to load a matplotlib style.

In case of stylename==”prodimopy” it will load the mplstyle file from within the prodimopy package.

Parameters:

style (str) – The name of the style that should be loaded. Default: prodimopy

prodimopy.utils.set_param(paramFileList, param, value)[source]

Utility function that allows to change ProDiMo parameter values in a list of ProDiMo Parameters (e.g. read in from Parameter.in)

If the parameter is not found in the file it will append it at the end of the file.

If value==DELETEPARAM the routine will delete he line containing that parameter.

This routine cannot deal yet with complex parameter structures. Only works with parameters that have a single value.

Parameters:

  • paramFileList (list()) – The content of the Parameter.in as a list. You can get it via f.readLines() This can also be a list that already includes changed parameters. Each entry in the list should correspond to one Parameter. Please note this input will be changed directly (i.e. the list is not copied).

  • param (str) – The ProDiMo parameter name (including the ! )

  • value (str) – the parameter value. The string will be used as is. If value is “DELETEPARAM” the parameter will be deleted. There are no checks or anything.

Returns:

  • list – the paramFileList

  • _todo (This is quick and dirty … maybe it is worth to make this more elegant and more flexible (e.g. its own class, allow to set comments etc.))
