di : dict associate numeric and alphanumeric keys

Methods Summary

`add`(**kwargs)	add a material in the DB
`addgui`([name])	Add a material in the DB
`choose`()	Choose a mat from matdir
`delete`(name)	Delete a material in the DB
`edit`(name)	Edit a material in the DB
`info`()	get MatDB info
`load`(_fileini)	Load a Material from a .ini file
`save`([_fileini])	save MatDB in an ini file

Methods Documentation

add(**kwargs)[source]¶

add a material in the DB

namestring: material name
cvalfloat or complex: epsilon or index
sigmafloat or complex: conductivity
murfloat: relative permeability
typstring: {‘epsr’|’ind’|,'reim',|’THz’|’itu’}

Different ways to enter a material are :

‘epsr’ : epsr and sigma

cval = epsr sigma = sigma

‘ind’ : indice @ fGHz

cval = indice

‘reim’ : real(epsr) and imag(epsr) @fGHz
‘THz’
ITU parameter (a,b,c,d)

>>> from pylayers.antprop.slab import *
>>> m = MatDB()
>>> m.load('matDB.ini')
>>> m.add(name='ConcreteJcB',cval=3.5+0*1j,alpha_cmm1=1.9,fGHz=120,typ='THz')
>>> m.add(name='GlassJcB',cval=3.5+0*1j,alpha_cmm1=1.9,fGHz=120,typ='THz')
>>> out = m.save('Jacob.ini')

addgui(name='MAT')[source]¶

Add a material in the DB

name : string default ‘MAT’

choose()[source]¶: Choose a mat from matdir

delete(name)[source]¶

Delete a material in the DB

name : string

edit(name)[source]¶

Edit a material in the DB

name : vstring

info()[source]¶

get MatDB info

TODO : make a __repr__

load(_fileini)[source]¶

Load a Material from a .ini file

_fileinistring: name of the matDB file (usually matDB.ini)

TODO add the ITU format (abcd)

save(_fileini='matDB.ini')[source]¶

save MatDB in an ini file
