u_movie.py

Introduction

The purpose of this script is to generate the animation movie using the data contained in the solver.diag.dat file.

Type

Python script

Usage

First, please edit the configuration parameters (such as inverse temperature $\beta$, number of orbitals norbs, number of frames nsweep/nwrite, etc) in the script carefully, and then execute it in the terminal:

$ ./u_movie.py movie.mp4

Here movie.mp4 is the output file. We can use the VLC to play it. If you don't supply any valid filename, the default output should be diag.mp4.

Note

Usually, the default setting in this script is not good. You have to adjust them again and again to obtain a good mp4 video.

Input

solver.diag.dat

All of the CT-HYB quantum impurity solvers in the iQIST software package can output the solver.diag.dat file if the nwrite parameter is correctly set.

Output

movie.mp4

You can specify the output filename by yourself. The suffix must be mp4.

Comment

The generated animation movie can be played using the VLC video tool. Sometimes the Quicktime player in the Mac OS X can not play it correctly.
