Hi, I was looking at some metal material properties created by Aaron Webster (http://falsecolour.com/aw/meep_metals/meep-metals.pdf), he referenced a way to have MEEP show the complex epsilon for the material using a 1x1x1 pixel grid and the 'meep-fields-analytic-chi1' function. This would let you specify a frequency for the field and very quickly print out the complex dielectric at any frequency.
This function doesn't exist anymore, it was in 1.1.1 but not in 1.2. I'm curious if there is a similar low level function that can do something similar, I'd like to check that these material properties are still lining up with other analytic models like the Drude and Debye models. It looks like the polarization code was rewritten for 1.2, perhaps to support more complex materials like anisotropic dielectrics. I looked through the SWIG wrapper code and there are some functions that reference 'chi1' (e.g. 'meep-material-function-eff-chi1inv-row') but I'm not sure how to use them or if they would be of any use for my goal. Any insight would be appreciated.
