vice.singlezone.from_output

Obtain an instance of the singlezone class given either the path to an output or an output itself.

Signature: vice.singlezone.from_output(arg)

New in version 1.1.0.

Parameters

argstr or output

The full or relative path to the output directory; the ‘.vice’ extension is not necessary. Alternatively, an output object.

Returns

szsinglezone

A singlezone object with the same parameters as the one which produced the output.

Raises

• TypeError

  • arg is neither an output object nor a string

• IOError [Only occurs if the output has been altered]

  • The output is missing files

Notes

Note

If arg is either a multizone output or a multioutput object, a multizone object will be returned.

Note

In versions before 1.1.0, this function had the call signature vice.mirror (now deprecated).

Note

This function serving as the reader, the writer is the vice.core.singlezone._singlezone.c_singlezone.pickle function, implemented in Cython.

Example Code

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import vice
>>> vice.singlezone(name = "example").run(np.linspace(0, 10, 1001))
>>> sz = vice.singlezone.from_output("example")
>>> sz
