Module Contents

class httk.atomistic.cell_primitive_view.CellPrimitiveView(obj: httk.atomistic.cell_like.CellLike, **hints: Any)

Bases: httk.atomistic.cell_view.CellView, tuple

A view presenting an underlying cell backend as the raw 3x3 basis matrix of floats.

This view is a genuine tuple of three cell-vector rows (the scaled lattice vectors rendered to floats from the exact basis), built eagerly and immutable.

unwrap() → Any

Return the most raw representation possible of this view, i.e., if it uses a backend with an internal representaion - or if it can (possibly lossly) convert itself into a more raw representation that still would be recognized as a <Something>Like type, that representation will be returned. If this is not possible, the instance itself is returned.
