*GSASIIobj: Data objects*
=========================

This module defines and/or documents the data structures used in GSAS-II, as well
as provides misc. support routines.

.. Next command allows \\AA to be used in HTML

Constraints Tree Item
----------------------

Constraints are stored in a dict, separated into groups.
Note that parameter are named in the following pattern,
p:h:<var>:n, where p is the phase number, h is the histogram number
<var> is a variable name and n is the parameter number.
If a parameter does not depend on a histogram or phase or is unnumbered, that
number is omitted.
Note that the contents of each dict item is a List where each element in the
list is a :ref:`constraint definition objects <Constraint_definitions_table>`.
The constraints in this form are converted in
:func:`GSASIIstrIO.ProcessConstraints` to the form used in :mod:`GSASIImapvars`

The keys in the Constraints dict are:

.. tabularcolumns:: |l|p{4.5in}|

==========  ====================================================
Hist        This specifies a list of constraints on
            histogram-related parameters,
            which will be of form :h:<var>:n.
HAP         This specifies a list of constraints on parameters
            that are defined for every histogram in each phase
            and are of form p:h:<var>:n.
Phase       This specifies a list of constraints on phase
            parameters,
            which will be of form p::<var>:n.
Global      This specifies a list of constraints on parameters
            that are not tied to a histogram or phase and
            are of form ::<var>:n

.. _Constraint_definitions_table:

.. index::
   single: Constraint definition object description
   single: Data object descriptions; Constraint Definition

Each constraint is defined as an item in a list. Each constraint is of form::

[[<mult1>, <var1>], [<mult2>, <var2>],..., <fixedval>, <varyflag>, <constype>]

Where the variable pair list item containing two values [<mult>, <var>], where:

  * <mult> is a multiplier for the constraint (float)
  * <var> a :class:`G2VarObj` object (previously a str variable name of form
      'p:h:name[:at]')

Note that the last three items in the list play a special role:

 * <fixedval> is the fixed value for a `constant equation` (``constype=c``)
   constraint or is None. For a `New variable` (``constype=f``) constraint,
   a variable name can be specified as a str (used for externally
   generated constraints)
 * <varyflag> is True or False for `New variable` (``constype=f``) constraints
   or is None. This indicates if this variable should be refined.
 * <constype> is one of four letters, 'e', 'c', 'h', 'f' that determines the type of constraint:

    * 'e' defines a set of equivalent variables. Only the first variable is refined (if the
      appropriate refine flag is set) and and all other equivalent variables in the list
      are generated from that variable, using the appropriate multipliers.
    * 'c' defines a constraint equation of form,
      :math:`m_1 \\times var_1 + m_2 \\times var_2 + ... = c`
    * 'h' defines a variable to hold (not vary). Any variable on this list is not varied,
      even if its refinement flag is set. Only one [mult,var] pair is allowed in a hold
      constraint and the mult value is ignored.
      This is of particular value when needing to hold one or more variables where a
      single flag controls a set of variables such as, coordinates,
      the reciprocal metric tensor or anisotropic displacement parameter.
    * 'f' defines a new variable (function) according to relationship
      :math:`newvar = m_1 \\times var_1 + m_2 \\times var_2 + ...`

Rigid Body Objects
------------------

Rigid body descriptions are available for two types of rigid bodies: 'Vector'
and 'Residue'. Vector rigid bodies are developed by a sequence of translations each
with a refinable magnitude and Residue rigid bodies are described as Cartesian coordinates
with defined refinable torsion angles.

.. _parmDict_table:

.. index::
   single: Parameter dictionary

Parameter Dictionary
-------------------------

The parameter dictionary contains all of the variable parameters for the refinement.
The dictionary keys are the name of the parameter (<phase>:<hist>:<name>:<atom>).
It is prepared in two ways. When loaded from the tree
(in :meth:`GSASIIdataGUI.GSASII.MakeLSParmDict` and
:meth:`GSASIIIO.ExportBaseclass.loadParmDict`),
the values are lists with two elements: ``[value, refine flag]``

When loaded from the GPX file (in
:func:`GSASIIstrMain.Refine` and :func:`GSASIIstrMain.SeqRefine`), the value in the
dict is the actual parameter value (usually a float, but sometimes a
letter or string flag value (such as I or A for iso/anisotropic).

Texture implementation
------------------------------

There are two different places where texture can be treated in GSAS-II. 
One is for mitigating the effects of texture in a structural refinement.
The other is for texture characterization. 

For reducing the effect of texture in a structural refinement
there are entries labeled preferred orientation in each phase's
data tab. Two different 
approaches can be used for this, the March-Dollase model and 
spherical harmonics.
For the March-Dollase model, one axis in reciprocal space is designated as 
unique (defaulting to the 001 axis) and reflections are corrected 
according to the angle they make with this axis depending on 
the March-Dollase ratio. (If unity, no correction is made). 
The ratio can be greater than one or less than one depending on if 
crystallites oriented along the designated axis are 
overrepresented or underrepresented. For most crystal systems there is an 
obvious choice for the direction of the unique axis and then only a single
term needs to be refined. If the number is close to 1, then the correction 
is not needed. 

The second method for reducing the effect of texture in a structural 
refinement is to create a probability surface as an expansion in 
terms spherical harmonic functions. Only functions consistent with 
cylindrical diffraction suymmetry and having texture symmetry 
consistent with the Laue class of phase are used and are allowed, 
so the higher the symmetry 
the fewer terms that are available for a given spherical harmonics order. 
For use of this correction, select the lowest order that provides 
refinable terms and perform a refinement. If the texture index remains close to 
one, then the correction is not needed. If a significant improvement is 
noted in the profile Rwp, one may wish to see if a higher order expansion
gives an even larger improvement. 

To characterize texture in a material, one needs data collected with the 
sample at multiple orientations or, for TOF, with detectors at multiple 
locations around the sample. In this case the detector orientation is given in 
each histogram's Sample Parameters and the sample's orientation is described 
with the Euler angles specifed on the phase's Texture tab, which is also 
where the texture type (cylindrical, rolling,...) and the sherical 
harmonic order is selected. This should not be used with a single dataset and 
should not be used if the preferred orientations corrections are used. 

The coordinate system used for texture characterization is defined where 
the sample coordinates (Psi, gamma) are defined with an instrument coordinate
system (I, J, K) such that I is normal to the diffraction plane and J is coincident with the
direction of the incident radiation beam pointing away from the source. We further define
a standard set of right-handed goniometer eulerian angles (Omega, Chi, Phi) so that Omega and Phi are
rotations about I and Chi is a rotation about J when Omega, Chi, Phi = 0. Finally, as the sample
may be mounted so that the sample coordinate system (Is, Js, Ks) does not coincide with
the instrument coordinate system (I, J, K), we define three eulerian sample rotation angles
(Omega-s, Chi-s, Phi-s) that describe the rotation from (I, J, K) to (Is, Js, Ks). The sample rotation
angles are defined so that with the goniometer angles at zero Omega-s and Phi-s are rotations
about I and Chi-s is a rotation about J.

ISODISTORT implementation
------------------------------

CIFs prepared with the ISODISTORT web site 
https://stokes.byu.edu/iso/isodistort_version5.6.1/isodistort.php
[B. J. Campbell, H. T. Stokes, D. E. Tanner, and D. M. Hatch, "ISODISPLACE: An Internet Tool for Exploring Structural Distortions." J. Appl. Cryst. 39, 607-614 (2006).]
can be read into GSAS-II using import CIF. This will cause constraints to be established for structural distortion modes read from the CIF.
At present, of the five types of modes  only displacive(``_iso_displacivemode``...) and occupancy (``_iso_occupancymode``...) are processed. Not yet processed: ``_iso_magneticmode``..., ``_iso_rotationalmode``... & ``_iso_strainmode``...

The CIF importer :mod:`G2phase_CIF` implements class :class:`G2phase_CIF.CIFPhaseReader` which offers two methods associated with ISODISTORT (ID) input. Method :meth:`G2phase_CIF.CIFPhaseReader.ISODISTORT_test`
checks to see if a CIF block contains the loops with ``_iso_displacivemode_label`` or  ``_iso_occupancymode_label`` items.
If so, method :meth:`G2phase_CIF.CIFPhaseReader.ISODISTORT_proc` is called to read and interpret them.
The results are placed into the reader object's ``.Phase`` class variable as a dict item with key ``'ISODISTORT'``. 

Note that each mode ID has a long label with a name such as  Pm-3m[1/2,1/2,1/2]R5+(a,a,0)[La:b:dsp]T1u(a). Function :func:`G2phase_CIF.ISODISTORT_shortLbl` is used to create a short name for this,
such as R5_T1u(a) which is made unique by addition of _n if the short name is duplicated.
As each mode is processed, a constraint corresponding to that mode is 
created and is added to list in the reader object's ``.Constraints`` class variable. Items placed into that list can either be a list, which corresponds to a function (new var) type :ref:`constraint definition <Constraints_table>` entry, or an item can be a dict, which provides help information for each constraint.

------------------------------
Displacive modes
------------------------------

The coordinate variables, as named by ISODISTORT, are placed in 
``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['IsoVarList']`` and the corresponding :class:`GSASIIobj.G2VarObj` objects for each are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['G2VarList']``. The mode variables,
as named by ISODISTORT, are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['IsoModeList']`` and the corresponding :class:`GSASIIobj.G2VarObj` objects for each are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['G2ModeList']``.
[Use ``str(G2VarObj)`` to get the variable name from the G2VarObj object, but note that the phase number, *n*, for the prefix "*n*::" cannot be determined as the phase number is not yet assigned.]

Displacive modes are a bit complex in that they relate to delta displacements, relative to an offset value for each coordinate, and because the modes are normalized, while GSAS-II also uses displacements, but these are added to the coordinates after each refinement cycle and the delta values are set to zero. ISODISTORT uses fixed offsets (subtracted from the actual position to obtain the delta values) that are taken from ``_iso_coordinate_formula`` and these are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['ParentStructure]`` (keyed by atom label). The normalization factors (which the delta values are divided by) are taken from ``_iso_displacivemodenorm_value`` and are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['NormList']`` in the same order as as ``...['IsoModeList']`` and
``...['G2ModeList']``.

The CIF contains a sparse matrix, from the ``loop_`` containing 
``_iso_displacivemodematrix_value`` which provides the equations for determining the mode values from the coordinates, that matrix is placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['Mode2VarMatrix']``. The matrix is inverted to produce
``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['Var2ModeMatrix']``, which determines how to compute the
mode values from the delta coordinate values. These values are used for the 
in :func:`GSASIIconstrGUI.ShowIsoDistortCalc` which shows coordinate and mode
values, the latter with s.u. values. 


------------------------------
Occupancy modes
------------------------------


The delta occupancy variables, as named by ISODISTORT, are placed in 
``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['OccVarList']`` and the corresponding :class:`GSASIIobj.G2VarObj` objects for each are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['G2OccVarList']``. The mode variables, as named by ISODISTORT, are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['OccModeList']`` and the corresponding :class:`GSASIIobj.G2VarObj` objects for each are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['G2OccModeList']``.

Occupancy modes, like Displacive modes, are also refined as delta values.  However, GSAS-II directly refines the fractional occupancies. 
Offset values for each atom, are taken from ``_iso_occupancy_formula`` and are placed in 
``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['ParentOcc]``. 
(Offset values are subtracted from the actual position to obtain the delta values.) 
Modes are normalized (where the mode values are divided by the normalization factor) 
are taken from ``_iso_occupancymodenorm_value`` and are placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['OccNormList']`` in the same order as as ``...['OccModeList']`` and
``...['G2OccModeList']``.

The CIF contains a sparse matrix, from the ``loop_`` containing 
``_iso_occupancymodematrix_value``, which provides the equations for determining the mode values from the coordinates. That matrix is placed in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['Occ2VarMatrix']``. The matrix is inverted to produce
``.Phase['ISODISTORT']['Var2OccMatrix']``, which determines how to compute the
mode values from the delta coordinate values.


------------------------------
Mode Computations
------------------------------

Constraints are processed after the CIF has been read in
:meth:`GSASIIdataGUI.GSASII.OnImportPhase` or  
:meth:`GSASIIscriptable.G2Project.add_phase` by moving them from the reader
object's ``.Constraints`` class variable to 
the Constraints tree entry's ['Phase'] list (for list items defining constraints) or
the Constraints tree entry's ['_Explain'] dict (for dict items defining constraint help information)

The information in ``.Phase['ISODISTORT']`` is used 
in :func:`GSASIIconstrGUI.ShowIsoDistortCalc` which shows coordinate and mode
values, the latter with s.u. values. This can be called from the Constraints and Phase/Atoms tree items. 

Before each refinement, constraints are processed as
:ref:`described elsewhere <Constraints_processing>`. After a refinement
is complete, :func:`GSASIImapvars.PrintIndependentVars` shows the
shifts and s.u.'s on the refined modes, using GSAS-II values, but 
:func:`GSASIIstrIO.PrintISOmodes` prints the ISODISTORT modes as computed
in the web site.

   single: Parameter limits

Parameter Limits
------------------------------

One of the most often requested "enhancements" for GSAS-II would be the inclusion 
of constraints to force parameters such as occupancies or Uiso values to stay within 
expected ranges. While it is possible for users to supply their own restraints that would
perform this by supplying an appropriate expression with the "General" restraints, the 
GSAS-II authors do not feel that use of restraints or constraints are a good solution for
this common problem where parameters refine to non-physical values. This is because when 
this occurs, most likely one of the following cases is occurring: 

#. there is a significant problem 
   with the model, for example for an x-ray fit if an O atom is placed where a S is actually 
   present, the Uiso will refine artificially small or the occupancy much larger than unity 
   to try to compensate for the missing electrons; or
 
#. the data are simply insensitive 
   to the parameter or combination of parameters, for example unless very high-Q data 
   are included, the effects of a occupancy and Uiso value can have compensating effects,
   so an assumption must be made; likewise, with neutron data natural-abundance V atoms 
   are nearly invisible due to weak coherent scattering. No parameters can be fit for a 
   V atom with neutrons.

#. the parameter is non-physical (such as a negative Uiso value) but within 
   two sigma (sigma = standard uncertainty, aka e.s.d.) of a reasonable value, 
   in which case the
   value is not problematic as it is experimentally indistinguishable from an 
   expected value.  

#. there is a systematic problem with the data (experimental error)

In all these cases, this situation needs to be reviewed by a crystallographer to decide 
how to best determine a structural model for these data. An implementation with a constraint
or restraint is likely to simply hide the problem from the user, making it more probable 
that a poor model choice is obtained. 

What GSAS-II does implement is to allow users to specify ranges for parameters 
that works by disabling 
refinement of parameters that refine beyond either a lower limit or an upper limit, where 
either or both may be optionally specified. Parameters limits are specified in the Controls 
tree entry in dicts named as ``Controls['parmMaxDict']`` and ``Controls['parmMinDict']``, where 
the keys are :class:`G2VarObj` objects corresponding to standard GSAS-II variable 
(see :func:`getVarDescr` and :func:`CompileVarDesc`) names, where a 
wildcard ('*') may optionally be used for histogram number or atom number 
(phase number is intentionally not  allowed as a wildcard as it makes little sense 
to group the same parameter together different phases). Note
that :func:`prmLookup` is used to see if a name matches a wildcard. The upper or lower limit
is placed into these dicts as a float value. These values can be edited using the window 
created by the Calculate/"View LS parms" menu command or in scripting with the 
:meth:`GSASIIscriptable.G2Project.set_Controls` function. 
In the GUI, a checkbox labeled "match all histograms/atoms" is used to insert a wildcard
into the appropriate part of the variable name.

When a refinement is conducted, routine :func:`GSASIIstrMain.dropOOBvars` is used to 
find parameters that have refined to values outside their limits. If this occurs, the parameter
is set to the limiting value and the variable name is added to a list of frozen variables 
(as a :class:`G2VarObj` objects) kept in a list in the
``Controls['parmFrozen']`` dict. In a sequential refinement, this is kept separate for 
each histogram as a list in 
``Controls['parmFrozen'][histogram]`` (where the key is the histogram name) or as a list in 
``Controls['parmFrozen']['FrozenList']`` for a non-sequential fit. 
This allows different variables
to be frozen in each section of a sequential fit. 
Frozen parameters are not included in refinements through removal from the 
list of parameters to be refined (``varyList``) in :func:`GSASIIstrMain.Refine` or 
:func:`GSASIIstrMain.SeqRefine`. 
The data window for the Controls tree item shows the number of Frozen variables and
the individual variables can be viewed with the Calculate/"View LS parms" menu window or 
obtained with :meth:`GSASIIscriptable.G2Project.get_Frozen`.
Once a variable is frozen, it will not be refined in any 
future refinements unless the the variable is removed (manually) from the list. This can also 
be done with the Calculate/"View LS parms" menu window or 
:meth:`GSASIIscriptable.G2Project.set_Frozen`.

      Phase, Histogram, and AtomID are None or are ranId values (or one can be '*')
      and VarName is a string. Note that if Phase is '*' then the AtomID is an atom number.
      For a rigid body variables, AtomID is a string of form "residue:body#".

    If four positional arguments are supplied, they are:

    :param str/int phasenum: The number for the phase (or None or '*')
    :param str/int histnum: The number for the histogram (or None or '*')
    :param str varname: a single value can be used to create a :class:`G2VarObj`

class ImportImage(ImportBaseclass):
    '''Defines a base class for the reading of images

    Images are read in only these places:

      * Initial reading is typically done from a menu item
        with a call to :meth:`GSASIIdataGUI.GSASII.OnImportImage`
        which in turn calls :meth:`GSASIIdataGUI.GSASII.OnImportGeneric`. That calls
        methods :meth:`ExtensionValidator`, :meth:`ContentsValidator` and
        :meth:`Reader`. This returns a list of reader objects for each read image.
        Also used in :func:`GSASIIscriptable.import_generic`.

      * Images are read alternatively in :func:`GSASIIIO.ReadImages`, which puts image info
        directly into the data tree.

      * Images are reloaded with :func:`GSASIIIO.GetImageData`.

    When reading an image, the ``Reader()`` routine in the ImportImage class
    should set:

      * :attr:`Comments`: a list of strings (str),
      * :attr:`Npix`: the number of pixels in the image (int),
      * :attr:`Image`: the actual image as a numpy array (np.array)
      * :attr:`Data`: a dict defining image parameters (dict). Within this dict the following
        data items are needed:

         * 'pixelSize': size of each pixel in microns (such as ``[200.,200.]``.
         * 'wavelength': wavelength in :math:`\\AA`.
         * 'distance': distance of detector from sample in cm.
         * 'center': uncalibrated center of beam on detector (such as ``[204.8,204.8]``.
         * 'size': size of image (such as ``[2048,2048]``).
         * 'ImageTag': image number or other keyword used to retrieve image from
           a multi-image data file (defaults to ``1`` if not specified).
         * 'sumfile': holds sum image file name if a sum was produced from a multi image file

    optional data items:

      * :attr:`repeat`: set to True if there are additional images to
        read in the file, False otherwise
      * :attr:`repeatcount`: set to the number of the image.

    Note that the above is initialized with :meth:`InitParameters`.
