expandset.xsl

Expands all parameter permutations. It is used to create experiment lists

Expand All Parameter Permutations

Sometimes one may want the result as a function of one or more values. In order to get a grid of all permutations you my use this expandset.xsl template.

This template takes a source file of the form:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup>
  <param name="gmaxvr">
    <val>7</val>
    <val>8</val>
    <val>9</val>
  </param>
  <param name="rgkmax">
    <val>11</val>
    <val>12</val>
  </param>
  <param name="swidth">
    <val>0.001</val>
    <val>0.002</val>
  </param>
  <param name="spinpol">
    <val>true</val>
    <val>false</val>
  </param>
  <param name="lmaxvr">
    <val>14</val>
  </param>
</setup>

and expands all permutations into parametersets for further use in input templates.

Apply expandset.xsl

xsltproc   expandset.xsl setup.xsl

in this case the output looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Dependent Parameters

If You have dependent parameters, meaning parameters that should change together with another this template supports following syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup>
<param name="gmaxvr">
<val>7 </val>
<val>8 <dep name="rgkmax" val="10"/></val>
<val>9 <dep name="rgkmax" val="11"/></val>
</param>
<param name="swidth">
<val>0.001</val>
<val>0.002</val>
</param>
<param name="spinpol">
<val>true</val>
<val>false</val>
</param>
<param name="lmaxvr">
<val>14</val>
</param>
</setup>

You can add any number of <dep> values inside the val element. This values are simply written into the <set> element together with the attribute for the <val> element.

For large series of values one can use something like the series expansion template to generate the setup.xml.
