Each function has built-in help.

Thanks! That makes life much easier :)

In particular, I can't get the functions loadObservableList and loadMeasurements to work (i.e. the return empty lists) with custom observables in sparsediag. Does it work only for internal hardcoded measurements, or am I doing something wrong?

No, it loads everything that has been measured.

Will have to play with this - still coming up with empty lists.

Also MEASURE_LOCAL is ignored, and MEASURE_AVERAGE gives me an average for each site. I'm confused by this.

MEASURE_LOCAL is not used when the lattice is translation invariant, as it is the same as MEASURE_AVERAGE in that case. MEASURE_AVERAGE, as the name says, averages over all sites.

I'm confused. So say I'm doing a MEASURE_AVERAGE[mag] : 'Sz', am I expected to get $\sum_j <Sz(j)>$ ? I get a list of 12 values for a L=12 chain.

Thanks again!

Look at the built-in documentation of these functions. This can. e,g, be done by:

from pydoc import help

help(pyalps.flatten)

Best regards

Also other functions like flatten etc that are used in the tutorials are not described on this page. Where can I find docs for them?

Thanks and sorry for the trouble!

Hi Deepak,

The pyalps functions are listed at http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Documentation:The_palps_Python_modules . The hard coded measurements depend on the code that you run, and are documented with the codes.
