Features

No thickness

• generate_line_segments: Function that determines the linesegments of a RDG network.
• generate_line_network: Function that makes the underlying network of the linesegments.
• get_intersection_segments: Function that determines the intersection segments of a RDG network.
• generate_line_segments_dynamic: Function that determines the segments of a dynamic RDG network (with increasing linelengths in time).
• draw_segments: Function that draws the segments.

Thickness

• generate_line_segments_thickness: Generates segment network with thicknesses

• orientate_network: Generates various rotated versions of the initial network.

• save_to_stl: Saves the network as a stl file.

• save_to_json: Saves data as a json file.

• load_from_json: Loads data as a json file.

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install RDG-networks

Usage

Output

The main function is called generate_line_segments_thickness and outputs the following data:

data_dict = {'segments_dict': segments_dict, 
             'polygon_arr': polygon_arr, 
             'segment_thickness_dict': segment_thickness_dict, 
             'jammed': jammed,
             'generated_config': generated_config}

• segment_thickness_dict: contains the generated network, represented by multiple polygons.
• segments_dict: contains auxilliary information of the generated network.
• polygon_arr: contains auxilliary information of the generated network.
• jammed: A boolean indicating if the system is jammed.
• generated_config: An array containing all nucleation points and orientations of the segments.

Code example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import os
import sys
import random
from RDG_networks.thickness.generate_line_segments_thickness import generate_line_segments_thickness
from RDG_networks import save_to_stl
from RDG_networks.save_data import save_to_json, load_from_json

size = 15
lamb0 = 0.2
alpha = 0.52
thickness_arr = [lamb0 * t**(-alpha) for t in range(1, size + 1)]
box_size = 1
angles = [random.random() * 2 * np.pi for _ in range(size)]

# Generate initial structure with specified parameters
data_dict = generate_line_segments_thickness(size=size, thickness_arr=thickness_arr, angles=angles, box_size=box_size)

# Setup plot
fig, ax1 = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=1, figsize=(5, 5))

segment_thickness_dict = data_dict['segment_thickness_dict']
for key, segment in segment_thickness_dict.items():
    segment.draw(ax1)
    middle_segment = segment.middle_segment
    if middle_segment:
        middle_segment.draw(ax1)

# Set plot limits and disable ticks
ax1.set(xlim=(0, 1), ylim=(0, 1))
ax1.set_xticks([])
ax1.set_yticks([])

# Save to STL and JSON files
save_to_stl(segment_thickness_dict, thickness=0.2, name=os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'network.stl'), frame_thickness=0.1)
file_path = os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'data.json')
save_to_json(data_dict, file_path)
data = load_from_json(file_path)

# Display the plot
plt.show()
