# get_order¶

tenpy.models.lattice.get_order(shape, snake_winding, priority=None)[source]

Built the Lattice.order in (Snake-) C-Style for a given lattice shape.

In this function, the word ‘direction’ referst to a physical direction of the lattice or the index u of the unit cell as an “artificial direction”.

Parameters
• shape (tuple of int) – The shape of the lattice, i.e., the length in each direction.

• snake_winding (tuple of bool) – For each direction one bool, whether we should wind as a “snake” (True) in that direction (i.e., going forth and back) or simply repeat ascending (False)

• priority (None | tuple of float) – If None (default), use C-Style ordering. Otherwise, this defines the priority along which direction to wind first; the direction with the highest priority increases fastest. For example, “C-Style” order is enforced by priority=(0, 1, 2, ...), and Fortrans F-style order is enforced by priority=(dim, dim-1, ..., 1, 0)

• group (None | tuple of tuple) – If None (default), ignore it. Otherwise, it specifies that we group the fastests changing dimension

Returns

order – An order of the sites for Lattice.order in the specified ordering.

Return type

ndarray (np.prod(shape), len(shape))
