pygridtools

https://travis-ci.org/Geosyntec/pygridtools.svg?branch=master https://readthedocs.org/projects/pygridtools/badge/?version=latest

A high-level interface for curvilinear-orthogonal grid generation, manipulation, and visualization.

Depends heavily on gridgen and pygridgen

The full documentation for this for library is here.

Installation and Depedencies

conda-forge generously maintains Linux and Mac OS X conda builds of pygridtools.

Install with

conda install pygridtools --channel=conda-forge

Building (gridgen-c) on Windows has been a tough nut to crack and help is very much wanted in that department. Until we figure that out, you can do the following in the source directory.

conda create --name=grid python=3.6 numpy scipy pandas matplotlib shapely geopandas --channel=conda-forge
pip install -e .

You won't be able to generate new grids, but you should be able to manipulate existing grids.

To create new grids on Linux or Mac OS, you'll need pygridgen

conda activate grid
conda install pygridgen --channel=conda-forge

If you want to use the interactive ipywidgets to manipulate grid parameters, you'll need a few elements of the jupyter ecosystem

conda activate grid
conda install notebook ipywidgets --channel=conda-forge

If you'd like to build the docs, you need a few more things

conda activate grid
conda install sphinx numpydoc sphinx_rtd_theme nbsphinx --channel=conda-forge

Finally, to fully run the tests, you need pytest and a few plugins

conda activate grid
conda install pytest pytest-mpl pytest-pep8 --channel=conda-forge

Grid Generation

If you wish to generate new grids from scratch, you'll need pygridgen, which is also available through the conda-forge channel.

conda install pygridgen --channel=conda-forge

The documentation pygridgen has a more detailed tutorial on generating new grids.

Testing

Tests are written using the pytest package. From the source tree, run them simply with by invoking pytest in a terminal. If you're editing the source code, it helps to have pytest-pep8 installed to check code style.

Alternatively, from the source tree you can run python check_pygridtools.py --strict to run the units tests, style checker, and doctests.

Documentation

Building the HTML documentation requires:

  • sphinx
  • sphinx_rtd_theme
  • numpydoc
  • jupyter-notebook
  • nbsphinx
  • pandas
  • seaborn

Source code and Issue Tracker

The source code is available on Github at Geosyntec/pygridtools.

Please report bugs, issues, and ideas there.

Contributing

  1. Feedback is a huge contribution
  2. Get in touch by creating an issue to make sure we don't duplicate work
  3. Fork this repo
  4. Submit a PR in a separate branch
  5. Write a test (or two (or three))
  6. Stick to PEP8-ish -- I'm lenient on the 80 chars thing (<100 is probably a smart move though).
