Synopsis

Two-dimensional uniform disk model.

Syntax

disk2d

Description

Two-dimensional step function model consisting of a uniform intensity disk.

Example

>>> create_model_component("disk2d", "mdl")
>>> print(mdl)

Create a component of the disk2d model and display its default parameters. The output is:

mdl
   Param        Type          Value          Min          Max      Units
   -----        ----          -----          ---          ---      -----
   mdl.xpos     thawed            0 -3.40282e+38  3.40282e+38           
   mdl.ypos     thawed            0 -3.40282e+38  3.40282e+38           
   mdl.ampl     thawed            1 -3.40282e+38  3.40282e+38           
   mdl.r0       thawed            1            0  3.40282e+38

ATTRIBUTES

The attributes for this object are:

Attribute	Definition
xpos	The center of the disk on the x0 axis.
ypos	The center of the disk on the x1 axis.
ampl	The amplitude of the signal within the disk.
r0	The radius of the disk.

Notes

The functional form of the model for points is:

f(x0,x1) = ampl  if (x0 - xpos)^2 + (x1 - ypos)^2 <= r0^2

         = 0     otherwise

For grids, the x0lo,x1lo values are used in the above equation.

This model was provided by Christoph Deil.
