FRGLatticePlotting.jl is a package that provides functions to visualize lattices in 2D and 3D, based on Makie.jl. One particular aspect is the inspection of implementation details of lattices created via SpinFRGLattices.jl.
- Displaying lattice sites
- Color code symmetry inequivalent sites
- Show nearest neighbor bonds (or other bonds)
- Display strength of correlations/interaction strengths on the lattice
- Highlight symmetry inequivalent pairs
- Interactive inspection of useful information about the lattice
To install the package, install the FRG registry (see PMFRG.jl) and run
] add FRGLatticePlotting
Afterwards, a system can be plotted by running
using FRGLatticePlotting, SpinFRGLattices
S = Pyrochlore.getPyrochlore(3, [5.,-3,0,1])
fig = plotSystem(S,Pyrochlore.Basis)
Here, sites that form symmetry inequivalent pairs with the reference site (cross) are highlighted in green. Hovering over a site displays the lattice coordinates Rvec(n1,n2,n3,b) and the corresponding Cartesian coordinates.
The standard settings use GLMakie for better interactive use, although one can also use CairoMakie for better export quality by running FRGLatticePlotting.CairoMakie.activate!() before plotting.
A slightly more involved example on how a plot can be customized is given below:
using FRGLatticePlotting, SpinFRGLattices
S = SquareKagome.getMirrorSquareKagome(6, 5.,-3)
Basis = SquareKagome.ShurikenBasis() #chose any you want for visualization
fig = plotSystem(S,Basis,
refSite = 2,
inspect = true,
inequivScale = 2.5,
Bonds = [
(minDist = Basis.NNdist,maxDist = Basis.NNdist,colorRGB = [0,0,0]),
(minDist = dist(Rvec(0,0,2),Rvec(0,0,4),Basis),maxDist = dist(Rvec(0,0,2),Rvec(0,0,4),Basis),colorRGB = [200,50,50]),
(minDist = dist(Rvec(0,0,2),Rvec(-1,1,4),Basis),maxDist = dist(Rvec(0,0,2),Rvec(-1,1,4),Basis),colorRGB = [10,70,70])
],
bondlw = [4,3,2],
bondstyle = [:solid,:dot,:dash]
)
Hovering over an inequivalent pair displays the pairNumber, i.e. the position of the element in S.PairList
