Modules

These modules provide basic functionality for transformations within one basis set, i.e. one module, like translations and rotations as well as transformations among them. The functions in there provide an intermediate stage between the purely mathematical functions found in the two subpackages lattice and special and the higher-level classes and functions.

sw	Spherical wave module.
cw	Cylindrical wave module.
pw	Plane wave module.

This module is for loading and storing data in HDF5 files and also for creating meshes of sphere ensembles.

io	Loading and storing data.

Finally, two modules for calculating scattering coefficients and doing miscellaneous tasks.

coeffs	Scattering coefficients for high-symmetry cases.
misc	Miscellaneous functions.

Global configuration variables are stored in

config

Configuration.

Some convenience classes for the implementation are defined in

util	Utilities.

Subpackages

These subpackages allow a low-level access to the implementation of the lattice sums and mathematical functions

lattice	Lattice sums.
special	Special (mathematical) functions.
