Bases: sisl.io.siesta.SileSiesta

Geometry file

Methods

dir_file([filename, filename_base])	File of the current Sile
read(*args, **kwargs)	Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes
read_data()	Returns an array with the velocities from the XV file
read_geometry([velocity, species_Z])	Returns a Geometry object from the XV file
read_supercell()	Returns SuperCell object from the XV file
read_velocity()	Returns an array with the velocities from the XV file
write(*args, **kwargs)	Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes
write_geometry(geometry[, fmt, velocity])	Writes the geometry to the contained file
base_file	File of the current Sile
file	File of the current Sile

__init__(filename, mode='r', comment=None, *args, **kwargs)

property base_file

File of the current Sile

dir_file(filename=None, filename_base='')

File of the current Sile

property file

File of the current Sile

read(*args, **kwargs)

Generic read method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters

kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute read_<> and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

read_data()

Returns an array with the velocities from the XV file

Return type

velocity

read_geometry(velocity=False, species_Z=False)

Returns a Geometry object from the XV file

Parameters

• species_Z (bool, optional) – if True the atomic numbers are the species indices (useful when reading the ChemicalSpeciesLabel block simultaneously).

• velocity (bool, optional) – also return the velocities in the file

Returns

• Geometry

• velocity (only if velocity is true.)

read_supercell()

Returns SuperCell object from the XV file

read_velocity()

Returns an array with the velocities from the XV file

Return type

velocity

write(*args, **kwargs)

Generic write method which should be overloaded in child-classes

Parameters

**kwargs – keyword arguments will try and search for the attribute write_ and call it with the remaining **kwargs as arguments.

write_geometry(geometry, fmt='.9f', velocity=None)

Writes the geometry to the contained file

Parameters

• geometry (Geometry) – geometry to write in the XV file

• fmt (str, optional) – the precision used for writing the XV file

• velocity (numpy.ndarray, optional) – velocities to write in the XV file (will be zero if not specified). Units input must be in Ang/fs.
