Name

orbfour - show geometric fourier coefficients of an orbit

Synopsis

orbfour in=orbit [parameter=value]

Description

orbfour calculates the fourier coefficients of an orbit by assuming you have sampled the orbit evenly. The first few dominant coefficients are then immediately computed by a straight sum.

The current implementation only shows the even cosine coefficients in the XY-plane.

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:
in=in-file
input file, in orbit(5NEMO) format [no default]
maxorder=n
Maximum order of the fourier expansion used. [default: 10]

orbdim(1NEMO) , orbit(5NEMO)

Bugs

The algorithm is based on a least squares fit, but assuming that sampling of the orbit has been done properly only diagonal terms in the matrix are used, and hence no matrix inversion is needed.
