DESCRIPTION

METHODS

• new(B=>$pdl[, L=>$L][, units=>$units])

  Creates a new Ph::G object

  $pdl is a boolean array with 1's and 0's representing the characteriztic function within the unit cell. Its dimensions must be odd. Its number of dimensions is the dimension of space

  $L is the size of the unit cell along the cartesian axes. By default, it is the number of pixels.

  $units is an arrayref of pdl's, one for each basis vector of the lattice. It defaults to cartesian unit vectors. Note: Non-default $units are not yet implemented.

• Vec2LC_G($v_G)

  Returns the longitudinal component of a 'complex' vector field $v_G in reciprocal space

• LC2Vec_G($s_G)

  longitudinal vector field from its longitudinal components in reciprocal space. Scalar field to vector field.
