                             ioneq

Reads, calculates, and/or plots the ionization equilibrium for an element as a function of temperature. The variable z is the atomic number of the element. Acceptable values are from 1 to 30.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, z, verbose=False)
a class to calculate and plot ionization equilibria

source code

calculate(self, temperature)
returns with the ionization balance as self.Ioneq and temperature as self.Temperature

source code

load(self, ioneqName)
read in an existing file ionization equilibrium file ioneqName should be something like 'chianti', or 'chianti_version6'

source code

plot(self, stages=0, xr=0, yr=0, oplot=0, label=1, title=1, bw=0, semilogx=0)
Plots the ionization equilibria.

init(self, z, verbose=False)
(Constructor)

source code

a class to calculate and plot ionization equilibria

Overrides: _SpecTrails._specTrails.__init__

plot(self, stages=0, xr=0, yr=0, oplot=0, label=1, title=1, bw=0, semilogx=0)

source code

Plots the ionization equilibria.

self.plot(xr=None, yr=None, oplot=False) stages = sequence of ions to be plotted, neutral == 1, fully stripped == Z+1 xr = temperature range, yr = ion fraction range

for overplotting: oplot="ioneqfilename" such as 'mazzotta' or if oplot=True or oplot=1 and a widget will come up so that a file can be selected.
