  • smax (int) – The maximum x-value in wavenumbers.

  • stride (float) – Compute the intensity every stride values of x. Can be in wavenumbers or nm. See stride_nm arg.

  • stride_nm (bool) – if True, “stride” is given in nm. Default is wavenumbers. Results in a series of x-values that have non-constant intervals in wavenumber space, but constant in nm space.

Generate a full curve for a series of frequency/intensity lines. The curve is generated by broadening the lines with Gaussian or Lorentzian curves centered on each line, and summing the curves together.

Broadening is done in wavenumber space and so returns xvalues in wavenumber space. Assumes input data’s x-values are in wavenumbers UNLESS uvvis=True. If uvvis=True, assumes input x-values are in eV and converts them to wavenumbers for curve generation.

Parameters

  • mytable (table.Table object) – table of raw data

  • line_width (float) – the half-bandwidth to use when generating spectrum

  • x_scale (float) – the x-axis scale factor

  • intensity (str) – The label of the intensity property in mytable

  • xprop (str) – The label of the x-axis property in mytable

  • uvvis (bool) – True if this is a uv/vis spectrum, False if not (default is False, vibrational spectrum)

  • smin (int) – The minimum x-value in wavenumbers.

  • smax (int) – The maximum x-value in wavenumbers.

  • stride (float) – Compute the intensity every stride values of x.

  • stride_nm (bool) – if True, “stride” is given in nm. Default is wavenumbers. Results in a series of x-values that have non-constant intervals in wavenumber space, but constant in nm space.

  • function (str) – The function used to broaden singular intensity values to a full spectrum curve. Default is Lorentzian, other option is Gaussian. Use the LORENTZIAN or GAUSSIAN module constants.

  • line_width_nm (bool) – Linewidth is given in nm. Default is wavenumbers. Not used for non-UV/Vis spectra.

  • offsets (list) – A list of floats whose length is equal to the number of rows in the table. These floats will be used to shift the values of x-positions of the curve. Defaults to None, where no offsets are used.

Return type

tuple of 1-D numpy arrays

Returns

(xvalues, yvalues) with xvalues running from smin to smax with Xn = X(n-1) + stride. Note that the X unit will be wavenumbers for all spectra.
