Lorenz -- another Q

Hi,

Given the Lorenz code shared yesterday, is there a way
to generate a log file of the x,y,z points generated?

Thanks in advance.

Prahas,

If I read it correctly, it looks like all of your x,y,z values are stored in x_t (and computed before plotting). See numpy.savetxt — NumPy v1.26 Manual
to output these to a file, if so desired.

Hello,

Solved the write issue.

I tried numpy savetxt but it chokes on 3D arrays.

So I'm doing this:

x_t.tofile('test3.txt',sep=" ",format="%f")

Only issue -- no end-of-lines. But I can write a quick
Pascal program to fix this...

Once again, thanks!

What 3D array? There shouldn’t be any 3D arrays. I suspect that x_t is only accidentally 3d by having a shape like (N, M, 1) or (1, N, M).

Sometimes a simple text file really does the trick… However, you might consider saving yourself some future pain by learning some non-text based storage formats. In the past, I used text files all the time, and they quickly became limiting, as you’ve noticed.

I personally like HDF files. There are libraries for these files on all OSs using many programming languages. Python has at least two: PyTables and h5py. I’ve personally used PyTables and find it very user-friendly. Pandas also has capabilities for interacting with HDF files (via PyTables).

If you are only going to be using Numpy, there are also binary formats such as .npy, .npz, and memmaps. See numpy.save, numpy.savez, and numpy.memmap. I don’t have much experience here, so I can’t say much on these formats…

Good luck.
