Index Module

The index module exposes the \(1\)-dimensional indexer utilized in freud at the C++ level.

At the C++ level, freud utilizes “flat” arrays, i.e. an \(n\)-dimensional array with \(n_i\) elements in each index is represented as a \(1\)-dimensional array with \(\prod\limits_i n_i\) elements.

Index2D

class freud.index.Index2D(*args)

freud-style indexer for flat arrays.

freud utilizes “flat” arrays at the C++ level i.e. an \(n\)-dimensional array with \(n_i\) elements in each index is represented as a \(1\)-dimensional array with \(\prod\limits_i n_i\) elements.

Note

freud indexes column-first i.e. Index2D(i, j) will return the \(1\)-dimensional index of the \(i^{th}\) column and the \(j^{th}\) row. This is the opposite of what occurs in a numpy array, in which array[i, j] returns the element in the \(i^{th}\) row and the \(j^{th}\) column

Parameters:
  • w (unsigned int) – width of 2D array (number of columns)
  • h (unsigned int) – height of 2D array (number of rows)
  • Constructor Calls:

    Initialize with all dimensions identical:

    freud.index.Index2D(w)
    

    Initialize with each dimension specified:

    freud.index.Index2D(w, h)
    
__call__(self, i, j)
Parameters:
  • i (unsigned int) – column index
  • j (unsigned int) – row index
Returns:

\(1\)-dimensional index in flat array

Return type:

unsigned int

getNumElements(self)

Get the number of elements in the array :return: number of elements in the array :rtype: unsigned int

num_elements

Number of elements in the array

Index3D

class freud.index.Index3D(*args)

freud-style indexer for flat arrays.

freud utilizes “flat” arrays at the C++ level i.e. an \(n\)-dimensional array with \(n_i\) elements in each index is represented as a \(1\)-dimensional array with \(\prod\limits_i n_i\) elements.

Note

freud indexes column-first i.e. Index3D(i, j, k) will return the \(1\)-dimensional index of the \(i^{th}\) column, \(j^{th}\) row, and the \(k^{th}\) frame. This is the opposite of what occurs in a numpy array, in which array[i, j, k] returns the element in the \(i^{th}\) frame, \(j^{th}\) row, and the \(k^{th}\) column.

Parameters:
  • w (unsigned int) – width of 2D array (number of columns)

  • Constructor Calls:

    Initialize with all dimensions identical:

    freud.index.Index3D(w)
    

    Initialize with each dimension specified:

    freud.index.Index3D(w, h, d)
    
__call__(self, i, j, k)
Parameters:
  • i (unsigned int) – column index
  • j (unsigned int) – row index
  • k (unsigned int) – frame index
Returns:

\(1\)-dimensional index in flat array

Return type:

unsigned int

getNumElements(self)

Get the number of elements in the array :return: number of elements in the array :rtype: unsigned int

num_elements

Number of elements in the array
