A first general restructuration of the doc according to the pattern [tour|tutorial|reference]. In the reference part, objects are documented per topic. In each topic, [definition|c++|python|hdf5] (not yet implemented)

Example 2: A Green function
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
What about more complex objects ?
|
|
The good news is that **hdf-compliant** objects can be stored easily as well.
|
|
|
|
We can store a Green function in an hdf5 file:
|
|
|
|
.. runblock:: python
|
|
|
|
from pytriqs.archive import HDFArchive
|
|
from pytriqs.gf.local import GfImFreq
|
|
|
|
# Define a Green function
|
|
G = GfImFreq ( indices = [1], beta = 10, n_points = 1000)
|
|
|
|
# Opens the file myfile.h5, in read/write mode
|
|
R = HDFArchive('myfile.h5', 'w')
|
|
# Store the object G under the name 'g1' and mu
|
|
R['g1'] = G
|
|
R['mu'] = 1.29
|
|
del R # closing the files (optional: file is closed when the R reference is deleted)
|
|
|
|
Of course, we can retrieve G as easily:
|
|
|
|
.. runblock:: python
|
|
|
|
from pytriqs.archive import HDFArchive
|
|
from pytriqs.gf.local import GfImFreq
|
|
|
|
R = HDFArchive('myfile.h5', 'r') # Opens the file myfile.h5 in readonly mode
|
|
G = R['g1'] # Retrieve the object named g1 in the file as G
|
|
|
|
# ... ok now I can work with G
|
|
|
|
The structure of the HDF file is this time ::
|
|
|
|
MAC:~>h5ls -r myfile.h5
|
|
/ Group
|
|
/g1 Group
|
|
/g1/Data Dataset {2, 2, 1000}
|
|
/g1/Indices Dataset {2}
|
|
/g1/Mesh Group
|
|
/g1/Mesh/Beta Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Mesh/Statistic Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Mesh/TypeGF Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Mesh/array Dataset {1000}
|
|
/g1/Name Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Note Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Tail Group
|
|
/g1/Tail/Indices Dataset {2}
|
|
/g1/Tail/OrderMax Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Tail/OrderMaxMAX Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Tail/OrderMinMIN Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
/g1/Tail/array Dataset {13, 2, 2}
|
|
/mu Dataset {SCALAR}
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. hint:: How does this work ?
|
|
|
|
The Green function implements (as detailed in :ref:`HDF_Protocol`)
|
|
|
|
* a method :func:`__reduce_to_dict__` that reduces to the Green function to a dictionary containing a mesh (Mesh), a tail (Tail), the data (Data), the indices (Indices) and so on.
|
|
* a classmethod :func:`__factory_from_dict__` that reconstructs the Green function from this dictionary.
