Examples
========
The example scripts live in the repository under ``examples/``. Install the
example and analysis dependencies before running them:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install "AtomVoxelizer[examples,analysis]"
For development from source:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://gitlab.com/tgmaxson/atomvoxelizer.git
cd atomvoxelizer
pip install -e ".[dev,examples]"
Zeolite Voxelization
--------------------
``examples/zeolite/zeolite_voxel.py`` reads a framework CIF with ASE,
voxelizes covalent-radius shells and cores, plots slices, and benchmarks
supercell scaling:
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/zeolite/zeolite_voxel.py BEA
For a single documentation-style slice through the framework grid:
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/zeolite/zeolite_slice_visual.py --framework BEA \
--resolution 0.25 --output docs/source/_static/zeolite_voxel_slice.png
.. image:: _static/zeolite_voxel_slice.png

Zeolite Geometric Pore Analysis
-------------------------------
``examples/zeolite/zeolite_analysis.py`` estimates geometric pore volume and
geometric internal surface area from the inverse of a framework-core mask:
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/zeolite/zeolite_analysis.py BEA --resolution 0.25
The result is a geometric voxel estimate. It is not a probe-accessible BET
surface area and is not corrected for a finite adsorbate or solvent probe. Probe
methods may be added in the future in the spirit of established porosity tools
such as `Zeo++ `_ and
`PoreBlazer `_.
The convergence command below samples resolutions from 1.00 to 0.05 Angstrom in
0.05 Angstrom increments. The example uses the fast ``voxel-faces`` surface
estimator by default; pass ``--surface-method marching-cubes`` for a smoother
triangulated estimate on smaller grids.
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/zeolite/zeolite_analysis.py BEA --convergence \

Probe Pore Volume
-----------------
``VoxelGridAnalysis.analyze_probe_accessibility`` estimates probe-center
accessible volume from a user-supplied grid, atomic positions, radii, and probe
radius. ``probe_accessible_surface_area`` estimates sampled accessible surface
area from inflated atom surfaces.
See :doc:`analysis` for the method and a BEA comparison against PoreBlazer,
including the PoreBlazer input files, matched AtomVoxelizer setup, timing, and
agreement for probe-accessible volume and surface area.
Finite Wulff Distance Surface
-----------------------------
``examples/wulff/distance_surface.py`` builds a Wulff nanoparticle, computes a
nearest-atom distance field, and exports a marching-cubes mesh at a requested
distance:
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/wulff/distance_surface.py --symbol Pt --size 147 \
--distance 2.0 --output pt_surface.npz
python examples/wulff/distance_surface.py --symbol Pt --size 147 \
--distance 2.0 --show
.. image:: _static/wulff_distance_surface.png
:alt: Wulff nearest-atom distance isosurface

Periodic Pt(211) Distance Surface
---------------------------------
``examples/surfaces/pt211_distance_surface.py`` applies the same distance-field
workflow to a periodic stepped Pt(211) slab:
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/surfaces/pt211_distance_surface.py --distance 1.8 --show
.. image:: _static/pt211_distance_surface.png
:alt: Periodic Pt(211) nearest-atom distance isosurface
:width: 85%
Voxel-Guided MC Trial Moves
---------------------------
``examples/mc/orb_v3_wulff_mc.py`` builds a cube-like WulffPack nanoparticle,
constructs a coordination-surface voxel mask, samples surface trial sites, and
runs a minimal Monte Carlo loop. The default score is ASE EMT; pass
``--score orb-v3`` after installing ORB to use the optional ORB-V3 scoring
hook.
.. code-block:: bash
python examples/mc/orb_v3_wulff_mc.py --natoms 201 --resolution 0.35 --steps 50
By default the script writes ``examples/mc/orb_v3_wulff_mc.traj`` for viewing
the MC path with ASE.
The step-by-step explanation is in :doc:`quickstart`.
Benchmarks
----------
Run the backend benchmark with:
.. code-block:: bash
python benchmarks/benchmark_backends.py --backends numpy numba taichi cupy
python benchmarks/benchmark_backends.py --zeolite-scaling --framework BEA \
--resolution 0.5 --plot zeolite_scaling.png
Run the dtype benchmark to compare grid storage types:
.. code-block:: bash
python benchmarks/benchmark_dtypes.py --backend numpy
python benchmarks/benchmark_dtypes.py --backend numba
