9.7. Samplers¶

This module provides a set of sampling functions for rapidly generating samples of 1D, 2D and 3D functions.

These functions use C calls when sampling Function1D, Function2D and Function3D objects and are therefore considerably faster than the equivalent Python code.

9.7.1. 1D Sampling¶

cherab.core.math.samplers.sample1d(function1d, x_range)¶

Samples a 1D function over the specified range.

Parameters

function1d – a Python function or Function1D object
x_range – a tuple defining the sample range: (min, max, samples)

Returns

a tuple containing the sampled values: (x_points, function_samples)

>>> from cherab.core.math import sample1d
>>>
>>> def f1(x):
>>>     return x**2
>>>
>>> x_pts, f_vals = sample1d(f1, (0, 3, 5))
>>> x_pts
array([0.  , 0.75, 1.5 , 2.25, 3.  ])
>>> f_vals
array([0.    , 0.5625, 2.25  , 5.0625, 9.    ])

cherab.core.math.samplers.sample1d_points(function1d, x_points)¶

Sample a 1D function at the specified points
