orbithunter.core.Orbit.minimal_shape

static Orbit.minimal_shape()

The smallest possible discretization that can be used without methods breaking down.

Returns:

tuple of int

The minimal shape that the shape can take and still have numerical operations (transforms mainly) be compatible

Notes

Often symmetry constraints reduce the dimensionality; if too small this reduction may leave the state empty, this method is called in aspect ratio correction and possibly other gluing applications.
