bskinn / NCI with ORCA, MultiWFN, and VMD.md
Last active April 12, 2023 03:44
Method for generating NCI plots using ORCA, MultiWFN, and VMD

Start with basename.gbw from an ORCA computation. This method has only been tested on Windows 7, primarily because MultiWFN is challenging to execute on Linux and Mac.

  1. Convert to MOLDEN format via orca_2mkl basename -molden
  2. Rename basename.molden.input to basename.molden (this is so MultiWFN will recognize it properly)
  3. Run MultiWFN; load basename.molden
  4. Export the reduced density gradient and "sign(lambda_2)*rho" to CUBE using the following MultiWFN commands:
    a. 5 (output property in spatial region)
    b. 13 (RDG)
    c. 3 (high grid over entire system -- can enter custom grid for better isosurface resolution)
    d. 2 (export CUBE)

On-the-fly switching between remote/local Sphinx objects.inv sourcing via an environment variable

Description

There are various situations where it's problematic for intersphinx to always retrieve objects.inv files from their network locations. The major such situations are where network access is unavailable, or very slow. As well, the downloads do always take some time, and thus local caching can usually provide speed benefits on every make.

The below is a Python 3 implementation of an environment variable-controlled switch between remote retrieval of objects.inv files and retrieval from a local cache. As written, if the envvar ISPHX_LOCAL is set to any truthy value, Sphinx will retrieve from local cache. If ISPHX_LOCAL is absent or falsey,

===THESE MAY BE REDUNDANT===
Parameterized predictor transforms, eventually to be optimized over, to find, e.g., the optimal exponent for a nonlinear dependence.
Workflow mini-language? Multi-step transforms from source (predictor transform->residual analysis->...)
Arbitrary, functional-form definitions of transforms? (<!predname!>, e.g.)

"logtree" alias for git, prettyprinting a particular flavor of tree-view log

Either add directly to local or global .git/config:

alias.logtree=!sh -c 'git log --graph --all --oneline --decorate=full'

Or can use git config:

> git config [--global] alias.logtree '!sh -c '"'"'git log --graph --all --oneline --decorate=full'"'"

Python context manager for scrubbing of temporary variables in Jupyter notebook cells

Rationale Spillover of temporary variables can be a significant annoyance when working with Jupyter notebooks. Aesthetically and logistically, it's bothersome to have a del var1, var2, var3 hanging around at the bottom of a notebook cell to take care of cleanup of these temp variables. It prevents a Ctrl+End from going to the end of relevant code, and if an Exception is raised in the course of code execution the del cleanup doesn't happen.

A short content manager class takes care of these various problems: when execution leaves the with suite, even due to a raised exception, the indicated variables are deleted.
