Module:MOS modes

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Note: Do not invoke this module directly; use the corresponding template instead: Template:MOS modes.

This module depends on the following other modules: Module: MOS Module: Rational Module: TAMNAMS Module: Template input parse Module: Utils Module: Yesno

This template is used for mos pages to automatically generate and list that mos's modes, along with the modes' UDP (up-down-period) notation.

local rat = require('Module:Rational')
local p = {}

-- Function that takes a mos and produces all of the modes by brightness
-- The mos is entered as a data structure provided by Module:MOS
function p.modes_by_brightness(input_mos)
	-- Default parameter, which corresponds to 5L 2s <2/1>
	local input_mos = input_mos or mos.new(5, 2, 2)
	
	-- Get the number of L's, s's, and periods
	local nL = input_mos.nL
	local ns = input_mos.ns
	local periods = rat.gcd(nL, ns)
	
	-- Find its brightest mode as a string of L's and s's
	local brightest_mode = mos.brightest_mode(input_mos)
	
	-- Find the size of the generator aned period in mossteps
	local gen = mos.bright_gen(input_mos)
	local gen_in_mossteps = gen['L'] + gen['s']
	local period_size  = round((nL + ns) / periods)
	
	-- For a mos xL ys, there are x+y unique modes that can be obtained by the following process:
	-- For a generator g in mossteps (g < x+y) and starting with the brightest mode (as a string
	-- of L's and s's), move the first g steps to the end to get the next-brightest mode.
	-- Repeat this process with the rotated string to get all modes. The x+y-1th time this is done
	-- will be the darkest mode.
	-- In the case of a multiperiod mos nxL nys, consider it as the mos for xL ys and duplicate
	-- each result n times. This way, the number of rotations needed to be performed is still x+y-1.

-- Test function that produces the modes of a mos as a table
-- TODO:
-- - Allow for mos to be extracted from the page's title for use as a future template
-- - Add UDP listing as a column
-- - Allow for input of mode names
