LJ cluster minimization (built-in potential)¶
Minimize the Lennard-Jones cluster (ljcluster) from
benchmarks/data/min_lj_cluster/. Movies are required for the modern plot
stack.
Plotting conventions:
energy profile and convergence from the minimization trajectory
a single 2D landscape for this job (one endpoint → one RMSD frame), with title from
--labeland initial / minimized captionsrelative energy on the landscape colorbar for readable ticks
The benchmark geometry is under the force tolerance, so the client would write one frame.
The setup cell moves the first atom by 0.001 angstroms along x, and the minimizer then takes a real step.
The landscape cell passes --ira-kmax 1.8.

2D optimization landscape¶
One landscape for this trajectory only. The title becomes Lj cluster minimization; endpoints are labeled initial / minimized.

Multiple endpoints (reactant and product)¶
When both ends of a path are minimized, plot two landscapes (one job dir each). Overlay only the 1D profile / convergence panels:
# separate 2D frames
python -m rgpycrumbs.cli eon plt-min --job-dir min_reactant --label reactant \
--plot-type landscape --project-path --plot-structures endpoints -o min_2D_reactant.png
python -m rgpycrumbs.cli eon plt-min --job-dir min_product --label product \
--plot-type landscape --project-path --plot-structures endpoints -o min_2D_product.png
# shared 1D overlays
python -m rgpycrumbs.cli eon plt-min \
--job-dir min_reactant --label reactant \
--job-dir min_product --label product \
--plot-type profile -o min_1D.png
