functions in multi.i - m

 
multi_bav

    multi_bav(gav)  


returns bin boundaries for the bin centers gav.  
The bin boundaries are taken at the geometric means between  
consecutive gav(i), with the endpoints extended slightly beyond  
the endpoints of gav.  
Interpreted function, defined at i/multi.i   line 1141  

 

multi_bins

    multi_bins(mf)  


The MF parameter is an array of MultiFiles, each created by multif.  
Automatically generates the bin structure which will be used by  
multi_streak (if the GB keyword is not specified).

multi_gb

    multi_gb, multi_gav, multi_gexist  


are the default names of the group boundary, group center, and group  
existence arrays in post-processing files.  By default, they are  
"gb", "gav", and "gexist".  If neither is present, drat_gb and  
drat_gav will also be tried.  
If present, gb is the photon bin boundary array, and gexist (if  
present) has one fewer element and is non-zero in bins which exist.  
Otherwise, gav is the photon energy array, and gexist (if present)  
has one fewer element and is zero between elements of gav which are  
not connected.  Isolated points in gav are removed entirely.  
Either gb or gav must be strictly increasing, and has units of  
photon energy.

multi_line

    gb= multi_line(nbins, hnu0, dhnu, dhnu_min)  


returns 2*NBINS+1 bin boundary energies for 2*NBINS bins  
cenetered around a spectral line at HNU0 of width DHNU.  The  
result begins at HNU0-DHNU and ends at HNU0+DHNU.  The finest  
two bins (nearest HNU0) has width DHNU_MIN, and the remaining  
bins have equal ratio widths as you move away from HNU0.  
Interpreted function, defined at i/multi.i   line 1229  

 

multi_memory

    multi_memory  


amount of memory used to determine size of spectral chunks.  
Default is 2000000, which keeps the memory required per chunk  
to under a few megabytes.  
Keyword,  defined at i/multi.i   line 502  

 

multi_no_dups

    xnd= multi_no_dups(x)  


returns its input vector X with any duplicate values removed.  
X must be non-decreasing and of length at least two.  
Interpreted function, defined at i/multi.i   line 1253  

 

multi_opac

    multi_opac, multi_emiss, multi_srcf  


are the default names of the opacity, emissivity, and source function  
arrays in post-processing files.  By default, they are "opac",  
"emiss", and "srcf", respectively.  If none of these are present,  
drat_akap and drat_ekap will also be tried for the opacity and  
source function, respectively.  If emissivity is present, source  
function will be ignored.  
The units of opacity are inverse length, of emissivity power per  
photon energy per sterradian per volume, and source function  
power per photon energy per sterradian per area.

multi_streak

    result= multi_streak(mf, rays, slimits, gb=common_bins)  


like the streak function, but allows opacity to be built up from  
"slave files", in addition to the "master file" MF(1).  The MF  
parameter is an array of MultiFiles, each created by multif.  
The master file MF(1) contains the mesh, and the master list of dump  
times.  Only dump times which are present in this master list, and  
in every slave file, will be processed.  
The master file MF(1) need not contain any opacity or emissivity data  
at all; each of the slave files MF(2:0) must contain data for at  
least one zone.  
The emissivities and opacities from each file are interpolated onto  
a common group structure.  This common group structure can be  
provided via the GB keyword to multi_streak.  If it is not provided,  
GB is computed by examining the group boundary (or center) arrays  
from the master and every slave file, and building a group structure  
which is at least as fine as every component group structure, at every  
point in the spectrum.  
Example:  
  File family "prob_p00" contains the mesh and opacities and  
  emissivities for all zones.  Family "pp_h00" contains post  
  processed opacities and emissivities on a much finer spectral  
  mesh, but only for zones in regions 1 and 2 of the original  
  problem.  You want to transport the emission from the  
  inner regions 1 and 2 through the overlying material:  
    restore, openb("prob_p00"), ireg;  
    master= multif("prob_p00", zoneuse=where(ireg>2));  
    slave= multif("pp_h00", zonelist=where(ireg==1|ireg==2));  
    rays= ...  
    slimits= ...  
    drat_start= ...  
    drat_stop= ...  
    result= multi_streak([master,slave], rays, slimits);  
    multic, master;  
    multic, slave;

multi_streak_save

    multi_streak_save, outname, mf, rays, slimits, gb=common_bins  
 or multi_streak_save, outfile, mf, rays, slimits, gb=common_bins  


like the streak function, but allows opacity to be built up from  
"slave files", in addition to the "master file" MF(1) and   
saves the streak in a PDB history file.  The MF parameter  
is an array of MultiFiles, each created by multif.  
The master file MF(1) contains the mesh, and the master list of dump  
times.  Only dump times which are present in this master list, and  
in every slave file, will be processed.  
The master file MF(1) need not contain any opacity or emissivity data  
at all; each of the slave files MF(2:0) must contain data for at  
least one zone.  
If the first argument is OUTFILE, a file variable instead of a  
file name, then that file is used for output.  You can create  
OUTFILE and add static variables to it with save (but do NOT call  
add_record) which streak_save otherwise wouldn't know about.  
The output file has history records at the same times as the  
input file.  Each record contains "time" (a double scalar),  
and the two arrays "transp", the transparency (between 0 and 1),  
and "selfem", the self emission (which has the same units as  
ekap in the file F).  The dimensions of transp and selfem  
are ngroup-by-2-by-nrays (where nrays represents zero or more  
dimensions, copied from the RAYS input array).  The RAYS and  
SLIMITS inputs are placed into the output file as non-record  
variables, and any variables in the drat_static option are  
copied form F to the output file.  The gb and gav variables  
are copied from F into the output file as well.  If the drat_glist  
option is present, that is stored in the output file also.  
The emissivities and opacities from each file are interpolated onto  
a common group structure.  This common group structure can be  
provided via the GB keyword to multi_streak.  If it is not provided,  
GB is computed by examining the group boundary (or center) arrays  
from the master and every slave file, and building a group structure  
which is at least as fine as every component group structure, at every  
point in the spectrum.  
Example:  
  File family "prob_p00" contains the mesh and opacities and  
  emissivities for all zones.  Family "pp_h00" contains post  
  processed opacities and emissivities on a much finer spectral  
  mesh, but only for zones in regions 1 and 2 of the original  
  problem.  File "prob_strk" contains the streak history.   
  You want to transport the emission from the  
  inner regions 1 and 2 through the overlying material:  
    restore, openb("prob_p00"), ireg;  
    master= multif("prob_p00", zoneuse=where(ireg>2));  
    slave= multif("pp_h00", zonelist=where(ireg==1|ireg==2));  
    fout= openb("prob_strk");  
    save, fout, kmax, lmax;  
    rays= ...  
    slimits= ...  
    drat_start= ...  
    drat_stop= ...  
    result= multi_streak_save(fout, [master,slave], rays, slimits);

    multic, slave;

multi_times

    times= multi_times(mf)  


returns the list of times which will be used by multi_streak.  This  
is the subset of streak_times(mf(1)) which occur in all of the slave  
files.  The drat_start and drat_stop times work as usual.  
Interpreted function, defined at i/multi.i   line 471  

 

multi_zonelist

    multi_zonelist  


is the default name of the variable which is a list of 1-origin  
zone indices in the mesh of the master file.  
Keyword,  defined at i/multi.i   line 1050  

 

multic

    multic, mf  
 or multic, [mf1, mf2, mf3, ...]  


closes a MultiFile created with multif.  
Presented with an array of multifiles, closes them all.  
Interpreted function, defined at i/multi.i   line 217  

SEE ALSO: multio,   multif  
 
 
 

multif

    multif(mf)  


returns an ordinary file pointer for the MultiFile MF.  
Do not use close to close this pointer; just set it to [] when  
you are done.  Use multic to properly close the MF.  
Interpreted function, defined at i/multi.i   line 240  

SEE ALSO: multio,   multic  
 
 
 

multio

    mf= multio(filename)  
 or mf= multio(file)  


opens file FILENAME for use with the multi_streak function.  
The file MUST be subsequently closed using multic, since  
this function produces a hidden reference to the file.  The function  
multif can be used to return an ordinary file pointer, given the  
returned MF structure.  If the argument is already a stream FILE,  
that file will be used.  The call still produces a hidden copy of  
FILE, so you may set your copy of the FILE variable to [], but do  
not close the file.  
The following keywords can be used to allow for variations in the  
variable names or units, and to specify the correspondence between  
the zones in this file, and the zones in the master file:  
zonelist=index_list  
-or- zonelist=zonelist_name  
  is an index list into the (rt,zt) mesh arrays of the master file.  
  If ireg is the region number array (having the same dimensions as  
  rt or zt, and with its first row and column all 0), and if FILENAME  
  contains opacity data only for zones with region numbers 1 and 2,  
  you could open the file using:  
     mf= multio(filename, zonelist=where(ireg==1 | ireg==2))  
  The zonelist should be nil only if the spatial dimensions of the  
  opacity and emissivity in this file exactly match those of rt or  
  zt in the master file.  
  If zonelist is a string, it replaces the default name for the  
  zonelist variable stored in the file (see multi_zonelist).  
zoneuse=index_list  
  The zonelist specifies how the zones in this file correspond  
  with those in the master file.  The zoneuse list allows you  
  to specify that only some of the zones actually present in the  
  opacity and emissivity arrays of this file are to contribute  
  to the total.  This might be necessary to avoid double counting  
  in a region covered by more than one file.  Hence zoneuse is  
  a list of indices into the spatial dimension(s) of the opacity  
  and emissivity arrays in this file.  If nil, all zones in this  
  file will contribute.  If present, and if zonelist is supplied  
  as an array (rather than out of the file), zonelist should  
  have the same length as zoneuse.  
  As a special case, if zoneuse is a scalar 0, no opacity or  
  emissivity will come from this file; this makes sense only if  
  this is the master file.  
opac=oname, emiss=ename, srcf=sname  
  specify non-default names for the opacity, emissivity, and  
  osource function arrays.  The defaults are given by the global  
  variables mutli_opac, multi_emiss, and multi_srcf (see help).  
  If the emissivity array is present in the file, it is preferred  
  to the source function array, which will then be ignored.  
oscale=opacity_unit, escale=emissivity_unit  
  are optional conversion factors to bring the units of the  
  opac and emiss (or srcf) arrays into agreement among the various  
  files which are to be used in a single run.  The default value  
  is 1.0 (i.e.- all files are expected to have the same units).  
gb=gbname, gav=gavname, gexist=gexistname  
-or- gexist=group_existence_map  
  specify non-default names for the group boundary, group energy,  
  and group existence arrays.  The defaults are given by the global  
  variables mutli_gb, multi_gav, and multi_gexist (see help).  
  If the group boundary array is present in the file, it is preferred  
  to the group energy array, which will then be ignored.  The file  
  should specify group boundaries if its opacity and emissivity are  
  averaged over finite width bins; group energies if its opacity  
  and emissivity are computed at points.  The group existence map,  
  if present, allows several disjoint spectral regions to exist in  
  a single file.  If the data type of gexist is not "string", it  
  should be an array of length one less than gb, if gb is present,  
  or gav, otherwise.  By this means you can ignore spectral regions  
  which are present in the file.  
gscale=photon_energy_unit  
  is an optional conversion factor to bring the units of the  
  gb (or gav) arrays into agreement among the various files  
  which are to be used in a single run.  The default value  
  is 1.0 (i.e.- all files are expected to have the same units).  
tscale=time_unit  
  is an optional conversion factor to bring the units of the  
  time into agreement among the various files which are to be used  
  in a single run.  The default value is 1.0 (i.e.- all files are  
  expected to have the same units).  
noextrap=1  
  if present and non-zero prevents the opacity and emissivity  
  data from this file from being extrapolated as 1/hnu^3 in  
  master bins at energies above the highest energy bin in this  
  file.  
freqfirst=0  
  if present and non-zero means the frequency index is first  
  for the opacity and emissivity arrays, instead of the  
  default of frequency index last.
