How to save and reuse your newly generated coefficients

Saving the coefficients

At this point, it makes sense to save the coefficients that you have just created. This is done with the following call:

coefs.WriteH5Coefs('test_better')

We now have a EXP HDF5 coefficient file called test_better.h5. As an example, let’s try reading the newly created file into another coefficient container, coefs2. The container has a member function called CompareStanzas which will check on the contents. Let’s do it.

# Now try reading it in
#
coefs2 = pyEXP.coefs.Coefs.factory('test_better.h5')
print("Type is", coefs2.getGeometry())

# Now compare with the original
#
coefs2.CompareStanzas(coefs)

Type is sphere

True

Times are the same, now checking parameters at each time
Parameters are the same, now checking coefficients

This member function will print differences. No differenced should be printed, of course.
