A..2 Array Naming Conventions

Arrays created by commands will have predictable names, and depend only on the current group name, held in the string variable $group, or specified as a command argument. By convention, the prefix of the array name is the group name, and the suffix of the array name contains a meaningful identification for the data. The following table lists the commonly used suffixes, their meaning, and commands that use or create arrays with these suffixes.

Array suffix	Description	Used in Commands
energy	E	none
xmu	$\mu$	none
pre	pre-edge subtracted $\mu$	pre_edge(), spline()
norm	normalized pre	pre_edge(), spline()
bkg	background $\mu_{0}^{}$	spline()
k	k	spline(), fftf(), feffit()
chi	$\chi$	spline(), fftf(), feffit()
win	Wk (k-window function)	fftf(), feffit()
chir_mag	|$\chi$(R)|	fftf()
chir_re	Re[$\chi$(R)]	fftf()
chir_im	Im[$\chi$(R)]	fftf()
chir_phase	phase[$\chi$(R)]	fftf()
