Welcome to RadialDF’s documentation!¶
This package provides the radial distribution function to analyze the radial density of
particles around other particles. The package provides a single function inner_rdf() that
calculates the RDF but excludes the border regions (as they would require n-dimensional
intersection of shapes, which isn’t computationally feasible).
A future version, if my short attention span permits it, will provide an rdf function
that handles the 2D and 3D cases with the inclusion of the border regions.
Example¶
from radialdf import inner_rdf
import numpy as np
import plotly.graph_objs as go
# Generate 10000 random particles with 3 coordinates between 0 and 100
particles = np.random.rand(10000, 3) * 100
# Define a volume from 0 to 100 on 3 axes
box = [[0, 100]] * 3
# Check the radial distribution, which should be pretty boring and flat
g = inner_rdf(box, particles, 20, 0.2)
go.Figure(go.Scatter(x=[i * 0.2 for i in range(21)], y=g)).show()
