fractaldna.structure_models.random_placements.generate_non_overlapping_prisms
- fractaldna.structure_models.random_placements.generate_non_overlapping_prisms(n_prisms, size, rad, early_exit=-1, verbose=False)
Generate a collection of non-overlapping prisms
Candidate prisms are generated at random and placed in a spherical volume. Overlaps are then checked and a new candidate is chosen if there is an overlap. The algorithm will exit early if early_exit is set to a number greater than 0.
- Parameters:
n_prisms (
int) – Number of prisms to generatesize (
Union[array,List]) – size of prism in x, y, z directionsrad (
float) – radius of ball in which to generate prismsearly_exit (
int) – stop attempting to place ‘early_exit’ prisms due to too many overlaps (-1 to disable)verbose (
bool) – Display progress of algorithm
- Return type:
