spherepy 0.0.6

Numerical routines for working with spherical harmonic coefficients

SpherePy

SpherePy is a package for working with scalar and vector spherical harmonics. It provides:

• scalar and vector spherical harmonic decompositions

• objects for algebraically manipulating harmonic coefficients

• the ability to plot coefficients and patterns

Better Documentation

I’m working on a more complete documentation [HERE](http://www.direentech.com/docs/spherepy).

Install

pip

For Windows I use wheels to distribute the binaries, so make sure pip is up to date.

Ubuntu: Before installing SpherePy you must install build-essential, python-dev, and NumPy

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev $ sudo pip install numpy

Then you can

$ sudo pip install spherepy

Windows: Make sure you have Numpy on your machine, then

$ pip install spherepy

Plotting

If you would like to use the plotting routines within SpherePy, install matplotlib:

$ sudo pip install matplotlib

Quick Example

>>> import spherepy as sp
>>> c = sp.random_coefs(4, 4) # generate some random coefficients
>>> p = sp.ispht(c, 50, 50) # inverse spherical transform to pattern
>>> sp.plot_sphere_mag(p) # plot the magnitude of the pattern
