desc.coils.FourierPlanarCoil.from_values

classmethod FourierPlanarCoil.from_values(current, coords, N=10, basis='xyz', name='')Source

Fit coordinates to FourierPlanarCoil representation.

Parameters:

  • current (float) – Current through the coil, in Amperes.

  • coords (ndarray, shape (num_coords,3)) – Coordinates to fit a FourierPlanarCurve object with each column corresponding to xyz or rpz depending on the basis argument.

  • N (int) – Fourier resolution of the new r representation.

  • basis ({"rpz", "xyz"}) – Basis for input coordinates. Defaults to “xyz”.

  • name (str) – Name for this curve.

Returns:

curve (FourierPlanarCoil) – New representation of the coil parameterized by a Fourier series for r.
