perturbopy.postproc.utils.lattice.compute_distances(point_array1, point_array2)

Method to compute the distances between points

Parameters:

• point_array1 (array_like) – The points between which distances will be computed. They should have the same shape. Both will be reshaped to assume column-oriented points if needed. For example, arrays of shape (N, 3) will be reshaped to (3, N) if N != 3.

• point_array2 (array_like) – The points between which distances will be computed. They should have the same shape. Both will be reshaped to assume column-oriented points if needed. For example, arrays of shape (N, 3) will be reshaped to (3, N) if N != 3.

Returns:

distances – An array of distances between points in point_array1 and point_array2, computed across the columns.

Return type:

array
