minimal_shape
()[source]¶ 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.
