🌸 NAME 🌸

phonopy-calc-convert — literally the manual page for phonopy-calc-convert 2.48.0 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the way this works is, you run it like this:

usage: phonopy-calc-convert [-h] -i FILE_IN -o FILE_OUT --calcin CALC_IN
                            --calcout CALC_OUT
                            [--additional-info ADDITIONAL_INFO [ADDITIONAL_INFO ...]]

lowkey that's the whole synopsis bestie 💅 and yeah, --calcin CALC_IN and --calcout CALC_OUT are required, no skipping, no cap.

it's the Phonopy crystal structure converter command-line-tool 👑 — it converts crystal structures between calculator formats, which is exactly as iconic as it sounds.

✨ options ✨

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. the classic. 🫶
• -i FILE_IN — the input crystal structure filename. your og file, the one you're bringing to the party. 🍓
• -o FILE_OUT — the output crystal structure filename. where the glow-up gets written. ✨
• --calcin CALC_IN — the input calculator format. tell it what it's reading, bestie, it can't read minds (yet). 🧚
• --calcout CALC_OUT — the output calculator format. tell it what it should become. main character transformation arc. 🦋
• --additional-info ADDITIONAL_INFO [ADDITIONAL_INFO ...] — extra info for the conversion, which some calculators need because they're high maintenance like that 😭. pass 'help' to this option and it'll show you the format for your desired output format. yes, literally the word 'help', go look, it's so helpful of it ngl.

⚠️ heads up fr fr: some calculators won't convert without --additional-info, so if things are being weird, that's your first vibe check.
