ramp

ramp is a simple function which creates a linear ramp of values along a given axis. This function is useful for “detrending” a diffusion simulation, or for computing the elevation of each voxel in an image for including gravity effects in invasion simulations.

shape

Both 2D and 3D images can be generated. Since this function is typically used in conjunction with some other image, then shape=other_im.shape would be a common option.

shape = [200, 200]
im = ps.generators.ramp(shape=shape, inlet=1, outlet=0)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=[4, 4])
ax.imshow(im, origin='lower', interpolation='none');

inlet and outlet

These arguments specific the inlet and outlet values. The inlet values will be stored at the start of the specified axis, and outlet values at the end.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=[8, 4])
h0 = ax[0].imshow(ps.generators.ramp([100, 100], inlet=0, outlet=1), origin='lower')
plt.colorbar(h0)
h1 = ax[1].imshow(ps.generators.ramp([100, 100], inlet=100, outlet=0), origin='lower')
plt.colorbar(h1);

axis

The direction of the ramp can be controlled by change which axis is used:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=[8, 4])
axis = 0
ax[0].imshow(ps.generators.ramp([100, 100], inlet=0, outlet=1, axis=axis), origin='lower')
ax[0].set_title(f"Axis: {axis}")

axis = 1
ax[1].imshow(ps.generators.ramp([100, 100], inlet=0, outlet=1, axis=1), origin='lower')
ax[1].set_title(f"Axis: {axis}");
