abitbx

abitbx is a wrapper of utility functions that can be used on top of cctbx

cctbx http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/

Dependencies

Installing cctbx

You can either install the cctbx bundle with it's own version of python, or compile cctbx to use your own version of python. Since many people are going to be using other libraries (e.g., pymongo), it's better to compile cctbx against your existing python install. This will allow you to still use easy_install, or pip.

$> wget http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_build/results/last_published/cctbx_bundle.tar.gz


$> mkdir cctbx-1-19-2011
$> cd cctbx-1-19-2011

$> gunzip -c cctbx_bundle.tar.gz | tar xf -

$> mkdir cctbx_build
$> cd cctbx_build

$> python2.7 ../cctbx_sources/libtbx/configure.py mmtbx
#or use the abspath to avoid potential confusion
$> /opt/local/bin/bin/python2.7 ../cctbx_sources/libtbx/configure.py mmtbx


# where 4 is the number of processors
$> ../bin/libtbx.scons -j 4

# either add this to your bashrc file

# or alias 'cctbx' as

alias cctbx=$HOME/development/cctbx-1-19-2011/cctbx_build/bin/libtbx.python

# if you have ipython installed
alias icctbx=$HOME/development/cctbx-1-19-2011/cctbx_build/bin/libtbx.ipython

#now see if it works
$> cctbx

# a python shell should load get fired up
# load cctbx 
>>> from cctbx import sgtbx
# see if existing libraries works (e.g., pymongo, pyyaml, ....)
>>> import pymongo
>>> import yaml
# if abitbx is in your PYTHONPATH
>>> import abitbx
>>> print abitbx.version()

Using abitbx

A few examples should go here

Using the commandline tools

abitbx/bin/analyzer.py

$> echo "Print info/summary"
$> python analyzer.py LiCoO2.cif
$> echo "Print SpaceGroup"
$> python analyzer.py LiCoO2.cif --space_group
$> echo "Print XRD"
$> python analyzer.py LiCoO2.cif --xrd
$> echo "Write XRD to json"
$> python analyzer.py LiCoO2.cif --xrd --out xrd.json

The crystal structure can also be specified by MaterialsProject json (Structure.to_dict()) format

$> python analyzer LiCoO2.json --space_group

F.A.Q.

  • Why use cctbx ?
