Summary of utilities

• Params: Handy class for containing parameters.
• RoundedPolygon: Matplotlib patch object corresponding to a rectangle with rounded corners.
• add_colourbar: Create a matplotlib colourbar, with the orientation, scale, and position tunable.

• copy_artist: Copy a matplotlib artist.
• hash_dict: Creates a unique hash for a dict
• int_path: Creates a list of indices between the given points.
• kpath: Discretises the Brillouin zone between certain momenta points.
• ndindex: Similar to numpy.ndindex, but allows also for specifying the lower as well as upper point of the iterators.
• pprint: Prints a matrix nicely in a Jupyter notebook.
• vectorize_parallel: Decorator which allows a function to take vector arguments, and also enables parallel processing with caching to disk.
• versioned_import: Allows for importing a library function, with a particular version enforced.
