desc.profiles.SplineProfile

class desc.profiles.SplineProfile(values=[0, 0, 0], knots=None, grid=None, method='cubic2', name='')[source]

Profile represented by a piecewise cubic spline.

Parameters:

params (array-like) – Values of the function at knot locations.
knots (int or ndarray) – x locations to use for spline. If an integer, uses that many points linearly spaced between 0,1
method (str) – method of interpolation - ‘nearest’: nearest neighbor interpolation - ‘linear’: linear interpolation - ‘cubic’: C1 cubic splines (aka local splines) - ‘cubic2’: C2 cubic splines (aka natural splines) - ‘catmull-rom’: C1 cubic centripetal “tension” splines
grid (Grid) – default grid to use for computing values using transform method
name (str) – name of the profile

Methods

`compute`([params, grid, dr, dt, dz])	Compute values of profile at specified nodes.
`copy`([deepcopy])	Return a (deep)copy of this object.
`eq`(other)	Compare equivalence between DESC objects.
`load`(load_from[, file_format])	Initialize from file.
`save`(file_name[, file_format, file_mode])	Save the object.
`to_fourierzernike`([L, M, N, NFP, xs, w])	Convert this profile to a FourierZernikeProfile.
`to_mtanh`([order, xs, w, p0, pmax, pmin])	Convert this profile to modified hyperbolic tangent + poly form.
`to_powerseries`([order, xs, sym, rcond, w])	Convert this profile to a PowerSeriesProfile.
`to_spline`([knots, method])	Convert this profile to a SplineProfile.
