class Spin:
r"""Spin class to determine configurations and spin components.
The basic class `Spin` implements a generic method to determine a spin configuration.
Its usage can be summarized in these few examples:
>>> Spin(Spin.UNPOLARIZED) == Spin("unpolarized") == Spin()
True
>>> Spin(Spin.POLARIZED) == Spin("polarized") == Spin("p")
True
>>> Spin(Spin.NONCOLINEAR, dtype=np.complex128) == Spin("non-collinear") == Spin("nc")
True
>>> Spin(Spin.SPINORBIT, dtype=np.complex128) == Spin("spin-orbit") == Spin("so") == Spin("soc")
True
Note that a data-type may be associated with a spin-object. This is not to say
that the data-type is used in the configuration, but merely that it helps
any sub-classed or classes who use the spin-object to determine the
usage of the different spin-components.
Parameters
----------
kind : str or int, Spin, optional
specify the spin kind
dtype : numpy.dtype, optional
the data-type used for the spin-component. Default is ``np.float64``
