Python interface to compute the analytic area and volume of overlapping spheres via the ARVO method.
Compile the shared library:
gcc -fPIC -c arvo.c -lm -std=c99
gcc -shared arvo.o -o libArvo.so
In case some python3 libraries are missing use pip3 install
| x | y | z | radius | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sphere 1 | ||||
| sphere 2 | ||||
| ... | ||||
| sphere n |
python3 arco.py <coordinates_file.xyzr>
The script uses with small modifications the C version of the ARVO softwares (arvo.c) for the analytical computation of volume and areas of ensembles of overlapping spheres. This is the core of the program. The original paper can be found here: J. Buša Jr. et al., Computer Physics Communications 183 (2012) 2494–2497
