stilt.Receptor

class stilt.Receptor(time: 'TimeLike', altitude_ref: 'VerticalReference') → 'None'

Base class for receptors.

Iterating a receptor yields (lat, lon, alt) for each release point. Two receptors are equal when their type, time, points, and altitude_ref match.

Methods

from_dict(d)	Build a receptor from a dict made by to_dict().
from_points(time, points, *[, altitude_ref])	Build the right receptor type for a list of points.
to_dict()	Return this receptor as a dict that from_dict() reads back.

Attributes

geometry	Shapely geometry of the release points.
id	Receptor id, the release time followed by the location id.
location_id	Identifier of this receptor's location.
plot	Plotting methods, such as receptor.plot.map().
points	Release points as shapely Point(lon, lat, alt) objects.
