The ``Flux properties'' section of the ComponentModels module
documentation describes how it is possible to generate a
component which has non-zero imaginary value in the Stokes
representation.
It is possible to check a number of components at once by
specifying the indicies of all the components. The returned value
will only be True if all the specified components are physical.
Check if a component is physically plausible
Synopsis
is_physical(which)
Description
The is_physical function is used to check if the specified
components meet a number of criteria that must be true if the
component could be used to model a physical process. These
criteria are:
Arguments
which
A vector of indices
Allowed:
Indices must be between 1 and the list length
Default:
no default
Returns
nothing
Example
include 'componentlist.g'
cl := emptycomponentlist();
cl.simulate(2);
cl.setflux(1, [10, 1+3i, 1-4i, 0]print cl.is_physical(1:2), polarization='linear');
print cl.is_physical(1:2)
This example creates a non-physical component hence the print
statement will return F.
