Best way to compare incomplete f_hkl to calculated f_hkl
by Jan Marten Simons 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi, I'm looking at the best (=fastest) way to compare a (possibly incomplete) list of observed reflections f_hkl_obs (or fo2_hkl_obs) to the f_hkl_calc of calculated structure factors or intensities from a model structure. in miller.py there is a function to calculate a difference between f_obs and f_calc, but it asserts that all reflections are present in f_obs: def f_obs_minus_f_calc(self, f_obs_factor, f_calc): assert f_calc.is_complex_array() assert self.indices().all_eq(f_calc.indices()) assert self.anomalous_flag() is f_calc.anomalous_flag() ... In my case it's possible that some reflections could not be observed so they should either be skipped or be assumed to be of zero intensity. As I could not locate the definition for .all_eq(...), yet I'm not sure if this is already handled and if it is how it is done. Then there is f_obs_minus_xray_structure_f_calc in miller.py as well. Would this be a better approach if the model structure changes quite often? What if I just got f_calc from another source (like doing some custom sped-up partial structure factor calculation)? In general: What would be your advice on this with cctbx? With regards, Dipl. Phys. Jan M. Simons Institute of Crystallography RWTH Aachen University

Use of cctbx with C++
by Flavio Zamponi 16 Mar '11

16 Mar '11

Hi all, I would like to use cctbx with C++. To start with I would like to do something basic, like: >/ from cctbx import xray />/ />/ xs = xray.structure.from_cif(file_path="my.cif") / I looked into the cctbx functions/class list, but I could not find something similar for C++. Can someone help me? Many thanks in advance, Flavio

Docstrings and online reference
by Jan Marten Simons 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi all, as you might have noticed I started to add some docstrings to functions. The purpose of those is to give a user of the toolbox an idea of this: 1. What's the purpose of the object (function/method/class/...)? 2. What objects should be thrown at it as input/keyword arguments? 3. What kind of object does one get as return value? I try to extract the information only from the source code, so it's possible that I sometimes don't get it right, as I'm just starting to explore the inner workings of the toolbox and esp. phenix related parts are (yet) quite obscure for me. I'm trying to document objects in a consistent way, so that a user (as well as ourself) doesn't get confused. I invite you all to adapt the scheme for new functions/objects you code and request comments on further improving it before extending its use, so that it's useful and to your likeing as well. A current example of one such docstring: def set_u_iso(self, value = None, values = None, selection = None): """Set isotropic mean thermic displacements of scatterers Input: value -- (optional) a single double value to set all u_iso of selected scatterers to values -- (optional) an array of double values to set all u_iso of selected scatterers to selection -- (optional) an array of bools to select scatterers to be updated with new u_iso values Returns: cctbx.xray.structure """ [...] During my first pass I noticed some already existing docstrings which are also shown in the online docs at e.g. http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/current/python/cctbx.xray.structure.html. Are those pages automatically generated via a cronjob or does it take a manual update to get this information up2date? Cheers, Jan

Missing gaussians for some ions?

Hi, I did some more tests using cif files from cod and found out that some of those trigger errors like this for http://www.crystallography.net/cif/1/1000029.cif: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Check_F_calc.py", line 29, in <module> f_calc = structure.structure_factors(d_min=1.0).f_calc() File "/home/marten/Arbeit/cctbx- latest/cctbx_sources/cctbx/xray/structure.py", line 813, in structure_factors algorithm=algorithm) File "/home/marten/Arbeit/cctbx- latest/cctbx_sources/cctbx/xray/structure_factors/from_scatterers.py", line 53, in __call__ miller_set=miller_set) File "/home/marten/Arbeit/cctbx- latest/cctbx_sources/cctbx/xray/structure_factors/from_scatterers_fft.py", line 32, in __init__ tolerance_positive_definite=manager.tolerance_positive_definite()) RuntimeError: gaussian not defined for scattering_type "Y4+".

State of python3 support?
by Jan Marten Simons 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi, as I've noticed from the changelogs cctbx is closely following python 2.x releases. Now I wonder if there are plans to move over to python3 soon? If I got it right, python 2.6 and 2.7 already offer most of python3 features and syntax as optional modules, so that the code can be prepared in advance (like converting print into print()-functions etc. [1] has some ideas on why and how to do a port. So I'm interested in your thoughts about python3 and cctbx. [1] http://peadrop.com/blog/2009/04/05/porting-your-code-to-python-3/ With regards, Jan M. Simons Institute of Crystallography RWTH Aachen

How to load a structure from a .cif file?
by Jan Marten Simons 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Hi, I've just started to work up some code for my phd. I've found cctbx to be quite a nice code base for my goals. So far I've seen that there is quite a large ammount of functions implemented, but in my opinion documentation on how to use them is either hidden or not in very verbose state. So from looking at the source I'm pretty confident that cctbx can load a crystalstructure from a .cif file (like those obtained from COD, http://www.crystallography.net/). But so far I've not been able to figure out how to do this. My experiments included: from iotbx import crystal_symmetry_from_any as sym_from_any from iotbx import file_reader file_name = "./xtal_data/9008806.cif" structure = file_reader.any_file(file_name) #gives an object, but not a structure # or structure = sym_from_any.extract_from(file_name) # returns none print(str(structure)) structure.show_summary().show_scatterers() Could you give me a hint into the right direction, please? With regards, Jan Simons

Help: cctbx installation and working
by Swapnil U Shinde 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hello I am new to cctbx user world and facing problem with cctbx working. I am having working python code with 3 libraries- Scipy Numpy cctbx I am using Enthought EPD which has python 2.6, scipy and numpy. http://www.enthought.com/products/epd.php All these things are working fine and then I installed cctbx from http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/current_cvs/installation.html#manually-buildin… (from Windows 2000 and higher) cctbx test cases are also running fine as there are no traceback calls.(test outputs are attached) However when I am running my python code it is giving error at cctbx interface. print "*** Executing cctbx" p2 = Popen(cmmd2, shell=True, bufsize=bufsize, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE) output2 = p2.communicate(input = allout) Here input (allout) is not empty but still output2 is coming empty which causes problems in next processing. It would be really great if you can tell me what problem is exactly and resolution on it. Please help me out in solving this issue.Let me know if you need more details. Hoping for your positive response!! Thanks in advance!!! -Swapnil U. Shinde

differential evolution
by Nikolay Mladenov 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hello all, Having nothing to do with crystallography, I downloaded cctbx only to use the python implementation of the differential evaluation. I am not knowledgeable about the details of the algorithm so I have to ask this question: Is it normal to have population members with coordinates outside of the specified limits? Thanks and regards, Nikolay Mladenov
