4.19. Base topology reader classes — MDAnalysis.topology.base
¶
Derive topology reader classes from the base class in this module. All
topology readers raise IOError
upon failing to read a topology
file and ValueError
upon failing to make sense of the read data.
4.19.1. Classes¶
-
class
MDAnalysis.topology.base.
TopologyReader
(filename, universe=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Base class for topology readers
- All topology readers must:
- Be initialised with a filename
- Return a struct dict by calling their parse function
Raises: IOError
upon failing to read a topology fileValueError
upon failing to make sense of the read data
New in version 0.9.0.
Changed in version 0.9.2: Added keyword ‘universe’ to pass to Atom creation.
Standard arguments for a TopologyReader:
Arguments: - filename
name of the topology file
Keywords: - universe
Supply a Universe to the Parser. This then passes it to the atom instances that are created within parsers.
- kwargs
Other keyword arguments that can vary with the specific format. These are stored as self.kwargs
-
close
()¶ Close the trajectory file.
-
convert_forces_from_native
(force, inplace=True)¶ In-place conversion of forces array force from native units to base units.
By default, the input force is modified in place and also returned.
New in version 0.7.7.
-
convert_forces_to_native
(force, inplace=True)¶ In-place conversion of force array force from base units to native units.
By default, the input force is modified in place and also returned.
New in version 0.7.7.
-
convert_pos_from_native
(x, inplace=True)¶ In-place conversion of coordinate array x from native units to base units.
By default, the input x is modified in place and also returned.
Changed in version 0.7.5: Keyword inplace can be set to
False
so that a modified copy is returned unless no conversion takes place, in which case the reference to the unmodified x is returned.
-
convert_pos_to_native
(x, inplace=True)¶ Conversion of coordinate array x from base units to native units.
By default, the input x is modified in place and also returned.
Changed in version 0.7.5: Keyword inplace can be set to
False
so that a modified copy is returned unless no conversion takes place, in which case the reference to the unmodified x is returned.
-
convert_time_from_native
(t, inplace=True)¶ Convert time t from native units to base units.
By default, the input t is modified in place and also returned (although note that scalar values t are passed by value in Python and hence an in-place modification has no effect on the caller.)
Changed in version 0.7.5: Keyword inplace can be set to
False
so that a modified copy is returned unless no conversion takes place, in which case the reference to the unmodified x is returned.
-
convert_time_to_native
(t, inplace=True)¶ Convert time t from base units to native units.
By default, the input t is modified in place and also returned. (Also note that scalar values t are passed by value in Python and hence an in-place modification has no effect on the caller.)
Changed in version 0.7.5: Keyword inplace can be set to
False
so that a modified copy is returned unless no conversion takes place, in which case the reference to the unmodified x is returned.
-
convert_velocities_from_native
(v, inplace=True)¶ In-place conversion of velocities array v from native units to base units.
By default, the input v is modified in place and also returned.
New in version 0.7.5.
-
convert_velocities_to_native
(v, inplace=True)¶ In-place conversion of coordinate array v from base units to native units.
By default, the input v is modified in place and also returned.
New in version 0.7.5.
