Save the Tessellation class

Similarly to the instances of the System class, the instances of the Tessellation class can be stored in a file, and saved in multiple formats. This tutorial develops how this should be done.

All the file formats will generate files will similar contents to the ones saved from an instance of the System class. For more information, check the related tutorial.

Save the instance

Once your systems are ready to be saved and once you have selected your desired output format, you can save the instances of the Tessellation class using the function saveVoro().

import mllpa

mllpa.saveVoro(voronoi, file_path="processed_system.h5")

ML-LPA automatically detect the extension given in the file_path= keyword-argument to determine the format to use. If no extension is found, ML-LPA will automatically use the default .csv format. The default format can be selected by using the keyword-argument format=.

ML-LPA can also be set to generate automatically the file name. This is done by not including the file_path= keyword argument. In this case, the name generated will be the date and time of the generation, in the format YYMMDD_HHMMSS.

mllpa.saveVoro(voronoi, format=".xml")
