finesse.tracing.tools.handle_symbolic¶
- finesse.tracing.tools.handle_symbolic(*args, symbolic: tuple | bool, simplify: bool, sym_func: Callable, num_func: Callable)[source]¶
 Handles logic for the ‘symbolic’ argument for
propagate_beam()andcompute_abcd().- Parameters
 - symbolictuple | bool
 If True or a tuple, returns a symbolic equation. If tuple, only returns symbolic equation with symbols in the tuple. Else returns numeric.
- simplifybool
 Wether to simplify the symbolics
- sym_funcCallable
 Function to call for symbolic solution
- num_funcCallable
 Function to call for numeric solution
- Returns
 - Any
 Symbolic or numeric solution
- Raises
 - ValueError
 When ‘symbolic’ is not a tuple or a boolean
