Enh/pipeline function for scanning probe #101

Closed sannant closed 1 year ago

pastewka commented 1 year ago

I am sorry, but we will not compromise API consistency because of the amount of work it appears to be.

I suggest that we write a decorator that turns a function such as the one in this PR into a proper pipeline function. It will then be zero additional work to write actual pipelines.

The pipeline will be of particular importance once we have time-dependence in the code.

sannant commented 1 year ago

Ok makes sense. Can we temproarily merge this and open an issue for that ?

It is holding back a pull request in SurfaceTopography.

pastewka commented 1 year ago

No, we merge when this is fixed. I can do that, but probably not today.

pastewka commented 1 year ago

Sorry, I just saw your comment: Why does SurfaceTopography as an upstream project depend on ContactMechanics? This should not happen. That creates weird interdependencies.

sannant commented 1 year ago

Important detail: the dependency is only in the testing suite. We agreed on this dependency. I agree that a dependency of the package itself would be bad and I would avoid it.

I first used it to test the elastic energy for full contact.

I now use it to test scans with tip artefacts.

Ok we can wait a few days.

Yes, we talked about this but in retrospective it is bad to have this even in testing. Imagine you need to restrict the surfacetopography version in contactmechanics <= some version, then the whole thing breaks.

If you need to the tip artefacts in surfacetopography, maybe the code should be there not here.

sannant commented 1 year ago

Happy to move the tip artefact simulation there.

Concerning the test of computation of the elastic energy against ContactMechanics, it is not too bad if I do these specific tests in the ContactMechanics test suite. I have other tests that should break if the computation of the energy gets wrong

I've created a decorator that turns a function into a pipeline function with lazy evaluation, see here: https://github.com/ContactEngineering/SurfaceTopography/pull/298

sannant commented 1 year ago

I will remove all the scanning probe stuff but will keep some fixes to the API I additionally did in the branch

sannant commented 1 year ago

Thanks I will implement that. Note that we need to finish the PR in SurfaceTopography before we can merge this one

Did you open a PR? I don't see it.
