Description:

spherepy 0.0.9

SpherePy
SpherePy is a package for working with scalar and vector spherical harmonics.
It provides:

scalar and vector spherical harmonic decompositions
objects for algebraically manipulating coefficients
the ability to plot coefficients and patterns

Better Documentation
I’m working on a more complete set of documentation
[HERE](http://www.direentech.com/docs/spherepy).



Install
Ubuntu:
Before installing SpherePy you must install build-essential, python-dev, and NumPy
` $ sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev `
For NumPy you need to decide if you want to build it yourself with
` $ sudo pip install numpy `
or download the package with
` $ sudo apt-get install python-numpy `
I have been building NumPy using the pip method, but it takes a long time.
Then you can
` $ sudo pip install spherepy `
Windows:
Make sure you have Numpy on your machine, then
` $ pip install spherepy `


Plotting
If you would like to use the plotting routines within SpherePy, install matplotlib:
` $ sudo pip install matplotlib `


Quick Example
`python import spherepy as sp c = sp.random_coefs(4, 4) # generate some random coefficients sp.pretty_coefs(c) p = sp.ispht(c, 50, 50) # inverse spherical transform to pattern sp.plot_sphere_mag(p) # plot the magnitude of the pattern `


Contributing
Reporting bugs, suggesting features, helping with documentation, and adding to the code is very welcome. See
