OperateSphericalShellNormalise (Node)

Overview

The OperateSphericalShellNormalise node is a specialised node which normalises values against spherical shell volumes. As such it is primarily used when normalising histograms in order to achieve a radial distribution function.

Description

In the “Operate” context all Operate* nodes are passed data of some dimensionality (e.g. from one of the Process* nodes) which is then subjected to some kind of mathematical operation.

The OperateSphericalShellNormalise node can only operate on one-dimensional data (e.g. from a Process1D) and assumes that the x axis of the data represents distance, as in a radial distribution function. From the x axis values, the volumes of spherical shells centred at those distances are calculated and used as divisors on the values.
