plofeld

"One of these days we must invent a faster-working field plotter!"

plofeld is a python plotting library for physical fields.

Installing

Installation is easily done via pip:

pip install plofeld

required are numpy, scipy, pandas, matplotlib.

Usage

First one needs to place some Elements, in this example PointCharges around your coordinate system. The positions of these Elements need to be given in Vectors.

This list is then passed on to the StaticField class, which creates the field.

The field can then be plotted with the StaticField().plot() function.

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

from plofeld.elements import PointCharge
from plofeld.fields import StaticField
from plofeld.utils.classes import Vector
from plofeld.utils.constants import ELECTRIC


def plot_two_charges():
    charges = [
        PointCharge(Vector(x=1, y=0), q=-1),
        PointCharge(Vector(x=-1, y=0), q=1),
    ]

    field = StaticField(charges, field_type=ELECTRIC)
    field.plot(xlim=(-2, 2), ylim=(-2, 2))

    plt.show()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    plot_two_charges()
