array([[-1, -1, -1, -1],
       [ 7, 11,  5,  1],
       [-1,  7, -1, -1]])

Setting a node to closed causes all links touching it to be inactive.

>>> grid.status_at_node[6] = grid.BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED
>>> grid.active_adjacent_nodes_at_node[(-1, 6, 2),]
array([[-1, -1, -1, -1],

array([ 8, 12, -1,  2])
>>> grid.active_adjacent_nodes_at_node[2]
array([-1,  7, -1, -1])
>>> grid = HexModelGrid((3, 2))

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))
>>> grid.active_faces
array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])
>>> grid.status_at_node[6] = grid.BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED
>>> grid.active_faces
array([0, 2, 5])

Return link directions into each node.

A value of 1 indicates a link points toward a given node, while a value of -1 indicates a link points away from a node. Note that inactive links have a value of 0, but active and fixed links are both reported normally.

Returns:

Link directions relative to the nodes of a grid. The shape of the matrix will be number of nodes by the maximum number of links per node. A zero indicates no link at this position.

Return type:

(n_nodes, max_links_per_node) ndarray of int

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))
.--->.--->.--->.
^    ^    ^    ^
|    |    |    |
.--->5--->.--->.
^    ^    ^    ^
|    |    |    |
.--->.--->.--->.
>>> grid.active_link_dirs_at_node[5]
array([-1, -1,  1,  1], dtype=int8)

If we set the nodes along the left edge to be closed, the links attached to those nodes become inactive and so their directions are reported as 0.

>>> grid.status_at_node[grid.nodes_at_left_edge] = grid.BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED
>>> grid.active_link_dirs_at_node
array([[ 0,  0,  0,  0], [ 0, -1,  0,  0], [ 0, -1,  0,  0], [ 0,  0,  0,  0],
       [ 0,  0,  0,  0], [-1, -1,  0,  1], [-1, -1,  1,  1], [ 0,  0,  1,  0],
       [ 0,  0,  0,  0], [ 0,  0,  0,  1], [ 0,  0,  0,  1], [ 0,  0,  0,  0]],
       dtype=int8)

Get array of active links.

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))
>>> grid.active_links
array([ 4,  5,  7,  8,  9, 11, 12])
add_empty(name, at='node', units='-', clobber=False)#

Create and add an uninitialized array of values to the field.

Create a new array of the data field size, without initializing entries, and add it to the field as name. The units keyword gives the units of the new fields as a string. Remaining keyword arguments are the same as that for the equivalent numpy function.

This method is not valid for the group grid.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – Name of the new field to add.

  • at (str, optional) – Grid location to store values. If not given, values are assumed to be on node.

  • units (str, optional) – Optionally specify the units of the field.

  • clobber (bool, optional) – Raise an exception if adding to an already existing field.

Returns:

A reference to the newly-created array.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

See also

numpy.empty

See for a description of optional keywords.

empty

Equivalent method that does not initialize the new array.

zeros

Equivalent method that initializes the data to 0.

add_field(name, value_array, at='node', units='-', copy=False, clobber=False)#

Add an array of values to the field.

Add an array of data values to a collection of fields and associate it with the key, name. Use the copy keyword to, optionally, add a copy of the provided array.

In the case of adding to the collection grid, the added field is a numpy scalar rather than a numpy array.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – Name of the new field to add.

  • value_array (numpy.array) – Array of values to add to the field.

  • at (str, optional) – Grid location to store values. If not given, values are assumed to be on node.

  • units (str, optional) – Optionally specify the units of the field.

  • copy (bool, optional) – If True, add a copy of the array to the field. Otherwise save add a reference to the array.

  • clobber (bool, optional) – Raise an exception if adding to an already existing field.

Returns:

The data array added to the field. Depending on the copy keyword, this could be a copy of value_array or value_array itself.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

Raises:

ValueError – If value_array has a size different from the field.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.field import GraphFields
>>> field = GraphFields()
>>> field.new_field_location("node", 4)
>>> values = np.ones(4, dtype=int)
>>> field.add_field("topographic__elevation", values, at="node")
array([1, 1, 1, 1])

A new field is added to the collection of fields. The saved value array is the same as the one initially created.

>>> field.at_node["topographic__elevation"] is values
True

If you want to save a copy of the array, use the copy keyword. In addition, adding values to an existing field will remove the reference to the previously saved array. The clobber=False keyword changes this behavior to raise an exception in such a case.

>>> field.add_field(
...     "topographic__elevation", values, at="node", copy=True, clobber=True
... )
array([1, 1, 1, 1])
>>> field.at_node["topographic__elevation"] is values
False
>>> field.add_field("topographic__elevation", values, at="node", clobber=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
FieldError: topographic__elevation
add_full(*args, **kwds)#

Create and add an array of values, fill with fill_value.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – Name of the new field to add.

  • fill_value (scalar) – Fill value.

  • at (str, optional) – Grid location to store values. If not given, values are assumed to be on node.

  • units (str, optional) – Optionally specify the units of the field.

  • copy (bool, optional) – If True, add a copy of the array to the field. Otherwise save add a reference to the array.

  • clobber (bool, optional) – Raise an exception if adding to an already existing field.

Returns:

A reference to the newly-created array.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

add_ones(name, at='node', units='-', clobber=False)#

Create and add an array of values, initialized to 1, to the field.

Create a new array of the data field size, filled with ones, and add it to the field as name. The units keyword gives the units of the new fields as a string. Remaining keyword arguments are the same as that for the equivalent numpy function.

This method is not valid for the group grid.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – Name of the new field to add.

  • at (str, optional) – Grid location to store values. If not given, values are assumed to be on node.

  • units (str, optional) – Optionally specify the units of the field.

  • clobber (bool, optional) – Raise an exception if adding to an already existing field.

Returns:

A reference to the newly-created array.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

numpy.ones

See for a description of optional keywords.

add_empty

Equivalent method that does not initialize the new array.

add_zeros

Equivalent method that initializes the data to 0.

Examples

property all_corner_azimuths_map#

Get azimuths from every corner to every other corner.

property all_corner_distances_map#

Get distances from every corner to every other corner.

property all_node_azimuths_map#

True
>>> angles.diagonal()
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])

Angles are measured in radians and increase clockwise starting at north.

>>> angles *= 180.0 / np.pi
>>> angles[0, :4]
array([  0.,  90.,  90.,  90.])
>>> angles[0, ::4]
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.])
>>> angles[0, ::5]
array([  0.,  45.,  45.])
property all_node_distances_map#

Get distances from every node to every other node.

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))
>>> distances = grid.all_node_distances_map

The shape of the array is number_of_nodes by number_of_nodes and distance from a node to itself is zero.

>>> distances.shape == (grid.number_of_nodes, grid.number_of_nodes)

property angle_of_face#

Get the angle of each face.

See also

angle_of_link

property angle_of_face_about_head#

Find and return the angle of a face about the corner at the face head.

Get the angle of each link.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.graph import Graph
>>> node_x, node_y = ([0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1])
>>> links = ((0, 1), (1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 5))
>>> graph = Graph((node_y, node_x), links=links)
>>> graph.angle_of_link * 180.0 / np.pi
array([  0.,   0.,  90.,  90.,  90.,   0.,   0.])

Find and return the angle of a link about the node at the link head.

Because links have direction, their angle can be specified as an angle about either the node at the link head, or the node at the link tail. The default behaviour of angle_of_link is to return the angle about the link tail, but this method gives the angle about the link head.

Examples

>>> from landlab import HexModelGrid
>>> import numpy as np
>>> grid = HexModelGrid((3, 2), node_layout="hex")
>>> np.round(grid.angle_of_link[:3] / np.pi * 3.0)

as_dataarray(name, at=None, time=None)#

Create an xarray DataArray representation of a grid field.

Parameters:
  • name (str) – Name of a field. This can either be a canonical field name (of the form “at_<element>:<field_name>”, or just the field name. In the latter case, use the at keyword to specify where the field is defined.

  • at (str, optional) – The grid elements on which the field is defined. Use this only if name is not a canonical field name that already contains the grid element.

Returns:

The field represented as a newly-created xarray DataArray.

Return type:

DataArray

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))

as_dataset(include='*', exclude=None, time=None)#

Create an xarray Dataset representation of a grid.

This method creates a new xarray Dataset object that contains the grid’s data fields. A particular grid type (e.g. a RasterModelGrid) should define its own as_dataset method to represent that particular grid type as a Dataset and then call this method to add the data fields.

Parameters:
  • include (str or iterable or str) – Glob-style patterns of fields to include in the dataset.

  • exclude (str or iterable or str) – Glob-style patterns of fields to exclude from the dataset.

Returns:

An xarray Dataset representation of a ModelGrid.

Return type:

calc_aspect_at_node(slope_component_tuple=None, elevs='topographic__elevation', unit='degrees', ignore_closed_nodes=True)#

Get array of aspect of a surface.

Calculates at returns the aspect of a surface. Aspect is returned as radians clockwise of north, unless input parameter units is set to ‘degrees’.

If slope_component_tuple is provided, i.e., (slope_x, slope_y), the aspect will be calculated from these data.

If it is not, it will be derived from elevation data at the nodes, which can either be a string referring to a grid field (default: ‘topographic__elevation’), or an nnodes-long numpy array of the values themselves.

If ignore_closed_nodes is False, all proximal elevation values will be used in the calculation. If True, only unclosed nodes are used.

Parameters:
  • slope_component_tuple ((slope_x_array, slope_y_array) (optional)) – Tuple of components of slope in the x and y directions, defined on nodes, if already known. If not, provide elevs.

  • elevs (str or array (optional)) – Node field name or node array of elevations. If slope_component_tuple is not provided, must be set, but unused otherwise.

  • unit ({'degrees', 'radians'}) – Controls the unit that the aspect is returned as.

  • ignore_closed_nodes (bool) – If True, do not incorporate values at closed nodes into the calc.

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> mg = RasterModelGrid((4, 4))

Note that a small amount of asymmetry arises at the grid edges due to the “missing” nodes beyond the edge of the grid.

Calculate differences of node values over links.

Calculates the difference in quantity node_values at each link in the grid.

Parameters:
  • node_values (ndarray or field name) – Values at grid nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to hold the result.

Returns:

Differences across links.

Return type:

ndarray

Examples

>>> import numpy as np

calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point(coord, get_az=None, node_subset=None, out_distance=None, out_azimuth=None)#

Get distances for nodes to a given point.

Returns an array of distances for each node to a provided point. If “get_az” is set to ‘angles’, returns both the distance array and an array of azimuths from up/north. If it is set to ‘displacements’, it returns the azimuths as a 2xnnodes array of x and y displacements. If it is not set, returns just the distance array.

If “node_subset” is set as an ID, or list/array/etc of IDs method returns just the distance (and optionally azimuth) for that node. Point is provided as a tuple (x,y).

If out_distance (& out_azimuth) are provided, these arrays are used to store the outputs. This is recommended for memory management reasons if you are working with node subsets.

Note

Angles are returned in radians but measured clockwise from north.

Parameters:
  • coord (tuple of float) – Coodinates of point as (x, y).

  • get_az ({None, 'angles', 'displacements'}, optional) – Optionally calculate azimuths as either angles or displacements. The calculated values will be returned along with the distances as the second item of a tuple.

  • node_subset (array_like, optional) – Calculate distances on a subset of grid nodes. The default is to calculate distances from the provided points to all nodes.

  • out_distance (array_like, optional) – If provided, put the calculated distances here. Otherwise, create a new array.

  • out_azimuth (array_like, optional) – If provided, put the calculated distances here. Otherwise, create a new array.

Returns:

If get_az is None return the array of distances. Otherwise, return a tuple of distances and azimuths.

Return type:

ndarray or tuple of ndarray

Notes

Once you start working with node subsets in Landlab, which can change size between loops, it’s quite possible for Python’s internal memory management to crap out after large numbers of loops (~>10k). This is to do with the way it block allocates memory for arrays of differing lengths, then cannot free this memory effectively. The solution - as implemented here - is to pre-allocate all arrays as nnodes long, then only work with the first [len_subset] entries by slicing (in a pseudo-C-style). Care has to be taken not to “accidentally” allow Python to allocate a new array you don’t have control over. Then, to maintain efficient memory allocation, we create some “dummy” nnode-long arrays to store intermediate parts of the solution in.

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((4, 5))

Calculate distances from point at (2., 1.) to a subset of nodes on the grid.

>>> grid.calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point((2, 1), node_subset=(2, 6, 7, 8, 12))
array([ 1.,  1.,  0.,  1.,  1.])

Calculate distances from a point to all nodes on the grid.

>>> dist = grid.calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point((2, 1))
>>> dist.shape == (grid.number_of_nodes,)
True
>>> dist.take((2, 6, 7, 8, 12))
array([ 1.,  1.,  0.,  1.,  1.])

Put the distances into a buffer.

>>> out = np.empty(grid.number_of_nodes, dtype=float)
>>> dist = grid.calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point((2, 1), out_distance=out)
>>> out is dist
True
>>> out.take((2, 6, 7, 8, 12))
array([ 1.,  1.,  0.,  1.,  1.])

Calculate azimuths along with distances. The azimuths are calculated in radians but measured clockwise from north.

>>> (_, azim) = grid.calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point((2, 1), get_az="angles")
>>> azim.take((2, 6, 7, 8, 12)) * 180.0 / np.pi
array([ 180.,  270.,    0.,   90.,    0.])
>>> (_, azim) = grid.calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point(
...     (2, 1), get_az="angles", node_subset=(1, 3, 11, 13)
... )
>>> azim * 180.0 / np.pi
array([ 225.,  135.,  315.,   45.])

When calculating displacements, the first row contains displacements in x and the second displacements in y.

>>> (_, azim) = grid.calc_distances_of_nodes_to_point(
...     (2, 1), get_az="displacements", node_subset=(2, 6, 7, 8, 12)
... )

Notes

code taken from GeospatialPython.com example from December 14th, 2014 DEJH found what looked like minor sign problems, and adjusted to follow the ArcGIS algorithm <http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/How_Hillshade_works/009z000000z2000000/>.

Remember when plotting that bright areas have high values. cmap=’Greys’ will give an apparently inverted color scheme. cmap=’gray’ has white associated with the high values, so is recommended for plotting.

Notes

This is essentially a line integral for the fluxes along the boundaries of each cell. Hence, the resulting output has dimensions of total flux (so, if the unit flux happens to be mass per time per face width, the output will be in mass per unit time). Because a line integral is undefined where there are no cells (i.e., perimeter nodes), the result is given as zeros for these nodes. The current algorithm uses fancy indexing (calling _calc_net_face_flux_at_cells) and could probably be made faster.

calc_slope_at_node(elevs='topographic__elevation', method='patch_mean', ignore_closed_nodes=True, return_components=False, **kwds)#

Array of slopes at nodes, averaged over neighboring patches.

Produces a value for node slope (i.e., mean gradient magnitude) at each node in a manner analogous to a GIS-style slope map. It averages the gradient on each of the patches surrounding the node, creating a value for node slope that better incorporates nonlocal elevation information. Directional information can still be returned through use of the return_components keyword.

Note that under these definitions, it is not always true that:

mag, cmp = mg.calc_slope_at_node(z)
mag**2 == cmp[0] ** 2 + cmp[1] ** 2  # not always true

If ignore_closed_nodes is False, all proximal elevation values will be used in the calculation. If True, only unclosed nodes are used.

Parameters:
  • elevs (str or ndarray, optional) – Field name or array of node values.

  • method ({'patch_mean', 'Horn'}) – By equivalence to the raster version, 'patch_mean' returns a scalar mean on the patches; 'Horn' returns a vector mean on the patches.

  • ignore_closed_nodes (bool) – If True, do not incorporate values at closed nodes into the calculation.

  • return_components (bool) – If True, return a tuple, (array_of_magnitude, (array_of_slope_x_radians, array_of_slope_y_radians)). If False, return an array of floats of the slope magnitude.

Returns:

If return_components, returns (array_of_magnitude, (array_of_slope_x_radians, array_of_slope_y_radians)). If not return_components, returns an array of slope magnitudes.

Return type:

float array or length-2 tuple of float arrays

>>> fields = GraphFields()
>>> fields.new_field_location("node", 4)

Add a field, initialized to ones, called topographic__elevation to the node group. The field_values method returns a reference to the field’s data.

>>> _ = fields.add_ones("topographic__elevation", at="node")
>>> fields.field_values("topographic__elevation", at="node")

fields(include='*', exclude=None)#

List of fields held by the grid.

The returned field names are returned as their canonical names. That is, as a string of the for "at_<location>:<name>". This allows for fields with the same name to be defined at different grid locations. You could have, for example, a variable “elevation” defined at both nodes and links.

Both the include and exclude patterns are glob-style expressions, not regular expressions. If either include or exclude are lists, then the patterns are matched using an “or”.

The include filters are applied before the exclude filters.

Parameters:
  • include (str, or iterable of str, optional) – Glob-style pattern for field names to include.

  • exclude (str, or iterable of str, optional) – Glob-style pattern for field names to exclude.

Returns:

Filtered set of canonical field names held by the grid

Return type:

set

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))

Add some fields to the grid. Notice that we have defined a field named “elevation” at both nodes and links.

>>> _ = grid.add_full("elevation", 3.0, at="node")
>>> _ = grid.add_full("elevation", 4.0, at="link")
>>> _ = grid.add_full("temperature", 5.0, at="node")
>>> sorted(grid.fields())
['at_link:elevation', 'at_node:elevation', 'at_node:temperature']
>>> sorted(grid.fields(include="at_node*"))
['at_node:elevation', 'at_node:temperature']
>>> sorted(grid.fields(include="at_node*", exclude="*temp*"))
['at_node:elevation']

Fields can also be defined at layers. In the following example we’ve filtered the results to just return the layer fields.

>>> grid.event_layers.add(1.0, rho=0.5)
>>> sorted(grid.fields(include="at_layer*"))
['at_layer:rho']

If a list, the fields are matched with an “or”.

>>> sorted(grid.fields(include=["at_node*", "*elevation*"]))
['at_link:elevation', 'at_node:elevation', 'at_node:temperature']
property fixed_faces#

property fixed_gradient_boundary_node_anchor_node#

Returns the node at the other end of the fixed link for a fixed gradient boundary node.

Degenerate NodeStatus.FIXED_GRADIENT nodes (e.g., corners) are handled as in fixed_gradient_boundary_node_fixed_link, by pointing to a neighboring NodeStatus.FIXED_GRADIENT node.

Examples

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 4))
>>> leftedge = grid.nodes_at_left_edge
>>> grid.status_at_node[leftedge] = grid.BC_NODE_IS_FIXED_GRADIENT

array([ 3,  7, 10])
>>> grid.fixed_gradient_boundary_node_anchor_node
array([4, 5, 4])

An array of the fixed_links connected to fixed gradient boundary nodes.

Note that on a raster, some nodes (notably the corners) can be NodeStatus.FIXED_GRADIENT, but not have a true LinkStatus.FIXED neighboring link. In such cases, the link returned will be a closed link joining the corner node to a neighboring NodeStatus.FIXED_GRADIENT node (see example).

An AssertionError will be raised if for some reason a NodeStatus.FIXED_GRADIENT node exists which has neither a NodeStatus.FIXED_GRADIENT neighbor, or a LinkStatus.FIXED.

It then return a boolean array the same shape as links_at_node flagging these links. e.g., for a raster, the returned array will be shape (nnodes, 4).

Parameters:
  • values (str or array) – Name of variable field defined at links, or array of values at links.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array. Must be correct shape and boolean dtype.

Returns:

Boolean of which links are upwind at nodes.

Return type:

ndarray

classmethod load(source)#

Map the largest magnitude of the links carrying flux from the node to the node.

map_downwind_node_link_max_to_node iterates across the grid and identifies the link values at each link connected to a node. It then uses the link_dirs_at_node data structure to identify links carrying flux out of the node, then maps the maximum magnitude of ‘var_name’ found on these links onto the node. If no downwind link is found, the value will be recorded as zero.

Parameters:
  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at nodes.

Return type:

Map the mean magnitude of the links carrying flux out of the node to the node.

map_downwind_node_link_mean_to_node iterates across the grid and identifies the link values at each link connected to a node. It then uses the link_dirs_at_node data structure to identify links carrying flux out of the node, then maps the mean magnitude of ‘var_name’ found on these links onto the node. Links with zero values are not included in the means, and zeros are returned if no upwind links are found.

Parameters:
  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at nodes.

Map values from a link head nodes to links.

Iterate over a grid and identify the node at the head. For each link, the value of var_name at the head node is mapped to the corresponding link.

In a RasterModelGrid, each one node has two adjacent “link heads”. This means each node value is mapped to two corresponding links.

Parameters:
  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

Return type:

>>> rtn is values_at_links
True

Map values from a link tail nodes to links.

map_link_tail_node_to_link iterates across the grid and identifies the node at the “tail”, or the “from” node for each link. For each link, the value of ‘var_name’ at the “from” node is mapped to the corresponding link.

In a RasterModelGrid, each one node has two adjacent “link tails”. This means each node value is mapped to two corresponding links.

Parameters:
  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])

Map the vector sum of links around a patch to the patch.

The resulting vector is returned as a length-2 list, with the two items being arrays of the x component and the y component of the resolved vectors at the patches, respectively.

Parameters:
  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at links.

  • ignore_inactive_links (bool) – If True, do not incorporate inactive links into calc. If all links are inactive at a patch, record zero if out is None or leave the existing value if out.

  • out (len-2 list of npatches-long arrays, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

[x_component_of_link_vals_at_patch, y_component_of_link_vals_at_patch].

Return type:

len-2 list of arrays

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.grid.mappers import map_link_vector_sum_to_patch
>>> from landlab import HexModelGrid
>>> mg = HexModelGrid((4, 3))
>>> interior_nodes = mg.status_at_node == mg.BC_NODE_IS_CORE
>>> exterior_nodes = mg.status_at_node != mg.BC_NODE_IS_CORE

Add a ring of closed nodes at the edge:

>>> mg.status_at_node[exterior_nodes] = mg.BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED

This gives us 5 core nodes, 7 active links, and 3 present patches

>>> (mg.number_of_core_nodes == 5 and mg.number_of_active_links == 7)
True
>>> A = mg.add_ones("vals", at="link")
>>> A.fill(9.0)  # any old values on the inactive links
>>> A[mg.active_links] = np.array([1.0, -1.0, 1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0])

This setup should give present patch 0 pure east, patch 1 zero (vorticity), and patch 2 westwards and downwards components.

>>> xcomp, ycomp = map_link_vector_sum_to_patch(mg, "vals")
>>> xcomp, ycomp = np.round(xcomp, decimals=5), np.round(ycomp, decimals=5)
>>> np.allclose(xcomp[(6, 9, 10),], [2.0, 0.0, -1.0])
True
>>> np.allclose(ycomp[(6, 9, 10),] / np.sqrt(3.0), [0.0, 0.0, -1.0])
True

These are the patches with LinksStatus.INACTIVE on all three sides:

>>> absent_patches = np.array([0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18])
>>> np.allclose(xcomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
True
>>> np.allclose(ycomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
True

Now demonstrate the remaining functionality:

>>> A = mg.at_link["vals"].copy()
>>> A.fill(1.0)
>>> _ = map_link_vector_sum_to_patch(
...     mg, A, ignore_inactive_links=False, out=[xcomp, ycomp]
... )
>>> np.allclose(xcomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
False
>>> np.allclose(ycomp[absent_patches], 0.0)
False

Map the maximum of a link’s nodes to the link.

map_max_of_link_nodes_to_link iterates across the grid and identifies the node values at both the “head” and “tail” of a given link. This function evaluates the value of ‘var_name’ at both the “to” and “from” node. The maximum value of the two node values is then mapped to the link.

Parameters:
  • var_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at links.

Assign values to links using a weighted combination of node values.

Assign to each link a weighted combination of values v at nodes using the Lax-Wendroff method for upwind weighting.

c is a scalar or link vector that gives the link-parallel signed Courant number. Where c is positive, velocity is in the direction of the link; where negative, velocity is in the opposite direction.

As an example, consider 3x5 raster grid with the following values at the nodes in the central row:

0---1---2---3---4

Consider a uniform Courant value c = +0.2 at the horizontal links. The mapped link values should be:

.-0.4-.-1.4-.-2.4-.-3.4-.

Values at links when c = -0.2:

.-0.6-.-1.6-.-2.6-.-3.6-.
Parameters:
  • v ((n_nodes,) ndarray) – Values at grid nodes.

  • c (float or (n_links,) ndarray) – Courant number to use at links.

  • out ((n_links,) ndarray, optional) – If provided, place calculated values in this array. Otherwise, create a new array.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 5))
>>> grid.at_node["node_value"] = [
...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
...     [0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
... ]
>>> v = grid.at_node["node_value"]
>>> c = grid.add_zeros("courant_number", at="link")
>>> c[grid.horizontal_links] = 0.2

Set values for the middle row of horizontal links.

>>> val_at_link = grid.map_node_to_link_lax_wendroff(v, c)
>>> val_at_link[9:13]
array([ 0.4,  1.4,  2.4,  3.4])

>>> val_at_link[9:13]
array([ 0.6,  1.6,  2.6,  3.6])

Assign values to links from upstream nodes.

Assign to each link the value v associated with whichever of its two nodes lies upstream, according to link value u.

Consider a link k with tail node t(k) and head node t(h). Nodes have value v(n). We want to assign a value to links, v’(k). The assignment is:

v'(k) = v(t(k)) where u(k) > 0,
v'(k) = v(h(k)) where u(k) <= 0

As an example, consider 3x5 raster grid with the following values at the nodes in the central row:

0---1---2---3---4

Consider a uniform velocity value u = 1 at the horizontal links. The mapped link values should be:

.-0-.-1-.-2-.-3-.

If u < 0, the link values should be:

.-1-.-2-.-3-.-4-.
Parameters:
  • v ((n_nodes,), ndarray) – Values at grid nodes.

  • u ((n_links,) ndarray) – Values at grid links.

  • out ((n_links,) ndarray, optional) – If provided, place calculated values in this array. Otherwise, create a new array.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> grid = RasterModelGrid((3, 5))
>>> grid.at_node["node_value"] = [
...     [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],

... ]
>>> v = grid.at_node["node_value"]
>>> u = grid.add_zeros("advection_speed", at="link")
>>> u[grid.horizontal_links] = 1.0

Set values for the middle row of horizontal links.

Parameters:
  • control_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes that dictate which end of the link to draw values from.

  • value_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes from which values are drawn, based on control_name.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at nodes.

         40.,   70.,   60.,   50.,   40.,   80.,   90.,  100.])

Map the the value found in one link array to a node, based on the largest magnitude value of links bringing fluxes into the node, found in a second node array or field.

map_upwind_node_link_max_to_node iterates across the grid and identifies the link control_values at each link connected to a node. It then uses the link_dirs_at_node data structure to identify links bringing flux into the node, then identifies the link with the maximum magnitude. The value of the second field ‘value_name’ at these links is then mapped onto the node. If no upwind link is found, the value will be recorded as zero.

Parameters:
  • control_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes that dictate which end of the link to draw values from.

  • value_name (array or field name) – Values defined at nodes from which values are drawn, based on control_name.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Buffer to place mapped values into or None to create a new array.

Returns:

Mapped values at nodes.

Return type:

ndarray

A boolean array, False where a patch has a closed node or is missing.

The array is the same shape as patches_at_node, and is designed to mask it.

Note that in cases where patches may have more than 3 nodes (e.g., rasters), a patch is considered still present as long as at least 3 open nodes are present.

See also

perimeter_nodes

property perimeter_nodes#

Get nodes on the convex hull of a Graph.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.graph import Graph
>>> node_x, node_y = [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1]

array([0, 2, 3, 5])
reset_status_at_node()#

Resolve the xy-components of links.

Resolves values provided defined on links into the x and y directions. Returns values_along_x, values_along_y

return_array_or_field_values(field, at=None)#

Return field given a field name, or array of with the correct shape.

Given a group and a field, return a reference to the associated data array. field is either a string that is a field in the group or an array of the correct size.

This function is meant to serve like the use_field_name_or_array decorator for bound functions.

Parameters:
  • field (str or array) – Name of the field withing group.

  • at (str, optional) – Name of the group.

Returns:

The values of the field.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

Raises:
  • landlab.field.errors.GroupError – If group does not exist

  • landlab.field.errors.FieldError – If field does not exist

Examples

Create a group of fields called node.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.field import GraphFields
>>> fields = GraphFields()
>>> fields.new_field_location("node", 4)

Add a field, initialized to ones, called topographic__elevation to the node group. The field_values method returns a reference to the field’s data.

>>> _ = fields.add_ones("topographic__elevation", at="node")
>>> fields.field_values("topographic__elevation", at="node")
array([ 1.,  1.,  1.,  1.])

Alternatively, if the second argument is an array, its size is checked and returned if correct.

>>> vals = np.array([4.0, 5.0, 7.0, 3.0])
>>> fields.return_array_or_field_values(vals, at="node")
array([ 4.,  5.,  7.,  3.])

Raise FieldError if field does not exist in group.

>>> fields.return_array_or_field_values("surface__temperature", at="node")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
FieldError: surface__temperature

If group does not exists, Raise GroupError.

>>> fields.return_array_or_field_values("topographic__elevation", at="cell")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
GroupError: cell

And if the array of values provided is incorrect, raise a ValueError.

>>> vals = np.array([3.0, 2.0, 1.0])
>>> fields.return_array_or_field_values(vals, at="node")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Array has incorrect size.
save(path, clobber=False)[source]#

Save a grid and fields.

This method uses pickle to save a Voronoi grid as a pickle file. At the time of coding, this is the only convenient output format for Voronoi grids, but support for netCDF is likely coming.

All fields will be saved, along with the grid.

The recommended suffix for the save file is ‘.grid’. This will be added to your save if you don’t include it.

This method is equivalent to save_grid, and load_grid can be used to load these files.

Caution: Pickling can be slow, and can produce very large files. Caution 2: Future updates to Landlab could potentially render old saves unloadable.

Parameters:
  • path (str) – Path to output file.

  • clobber (bool (defaults to false)) – Set to true to allow overwriting

Returns:

The name of the saved file (with the “.grid” extension).

Return type:

str

Examples

>>> from landlab import VoronoiDelaunayGrid
>>> import numpy as np
>>> grid = VoronoiDelaunayGrid(np.random.rand(20), np.random.rand(20))
>>> grid.save("mytestsave.grid")  
'mytestsave.grid'
set_nodata_nodes_to_closed(node_data, nodata_value)#

Make no-data nodes closed boundaries.

Sets node status to BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED for all nodes whose value of node_data is equal to the nodata_value.

Any links connected to BC_NODE_IS_CLOSED nodes are automatically set to LinkStatus.INACTIVE boundary.

Parameters:
  • node_data (ndarray) – Data values.

  • nodata_value (float) – Value that indicates an invalid value.

Examples

The following example uses the following grid:

*--I--->o------>o------>o
^       ^       ^       ^
I       I       |       |

set_nodata_nodes_to_fixed_gradient(node_data, nodata_value)#

Make no-data nodes fixed gradient boundaries.

Set node status to BC_NODE_IS_FIXED_VALUE for all nodes whose value of node_data is equal to nodata_value.

Any links between BC_NODE_IS_FIXED_GRADIENT nodes and BC_NODE_IS_CORE are automatically set to LinkStatus.FIXED boundary status.

thaw()#

Thaw the graph by making arrays writable.

thawed()#
to_dict()#
to_json()#
to_netcdf(*args, **kwds)#

Write graph contents to a netCDF file.

See xarray.Dataset.to_netcdf for a complete list of parameters. Below are only the most common.

Parameters:
  • path (str, optional) – Path to which to save this graph.

  • mode ({'w', 'a'}, optional) – Write (‘w’) or append (‘a’) mode. If mode=’w’, any existing file at this location will be overwritten.

  • format ({'NETCDF4', 'NETCDF4_CLASSIC', 'NETCDF3_64BIT', 'NETCDF3_CLASSIC'}, optional) –

    File format for the resulting netCDF file:

    • NETCDF4: Data is stored in an HDF5 file, using netCDF4 API features.

    • NETCDF4_CLASSIC: Data is stored in an HDF5 file, using only netCDF 3 compatible API features.

    • NETCDF3_64BIT: 64-bit offset version of the netCDF 3 file format, which fully supports 2+ GB files, but is only compatible with clients linked against netCDF version 3.6.0 or later.

    • NETCDF3_CLASSIC: The classic netCDF 3 file format. It does not handle 2+ GB files very well.

    All formats are supported by the netCDF4-python library. scipy.io.netcdf only supports the last two formats.

    The default format is NETCDF4 if you are saving a file to disk and have the netCDF4-python library available. Otherwise, xarray falls back to using scipy to write netCDF files and defaults to the NETCDF3_64BIT format (scipy does not support netCDF4).

property unit_vector_at_corner#

Get a unit vector for each corner.

property unit_vector_at_face#

Make arrays to store the unit vectors associated with each face.

Make arrays to store the unit vectors associated with each link.

Return an (nnodes, X) shape array of link IDs of which links are upwind of each node, according to values (field or array).

X is the maximum upwind links at any node. Nodes with fewer upwind links than this have additional slots filled with bad_index. Links are ordered anticlockwise from east.

Parameters:
  • values (str or array) – Name of variable field defined at links, or array of values at links.

  • bad_index (int) – Index to place in array indicating no link.

Returns:

Array of upwind link IDs

property xy_of_reference#

Return the coordinates (x, y) of the reference point.

For RasterModelGrid and HexModelGrid the reference point is the minimum of x_of_node and of y_of_node. By default it is (0, 0). For VoronoiDelaunayGrid the reference point is (0, 0). For RadialModelGrid it is the (x, y) of the center point.

The intention of these coordinates is to provide a method to store the large float values of projected coordinates.

Example

>>> from landlab import RasterModelGrid
>>> rmg = RasterModelGrid((4, 5), xy_of_reference=(12345, 678910))
>>> rmg.xy_of_reference
(12345, 678910)
>>> rmg.xy_of_reference = (98765, 43210)
>>> rmg.xy_of_reference
(98765, 43210)
property y_of_corner#

Get y-coordinate of corner.

See also

y_of_node

property y_of_node#

Get y-coordinate of node.

Examples

>>> from landlab.graph import Graph
>>> node_x, node_y = [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2], [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1]
>>> graph = Graph((node_y, node_x))
>>> graph.y_of_node
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  1.,  1.,  1.])
zeros(*args, **kwds)#

Array, initialized to 0, whose size is that of the field.

Parameters:
  • group (str) – Name of the group.

  • size (Return a new array of the data field) –

  • Keyword (filled with zeros.) –

  • function. (arguments are the same as that for the equivalent numpy) –

  • grid. (This method is not valid for the group) –

See also

numpy.zeros

See for a description of optional keywords.

empty

Equivalent method that does not initialize the new array.

ones

Equivalent method that initializes the data to 1.

Examples

>>> from landlab.field import GraphFields
>>> field = GraphFields()
>>> field.new_field_location("node", 4)
>>> field.zeros("node")
array([ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])

Note that a new field is not added to the collection of fields.

>>> list(field.keys("node"))
[]
simple_poly_area(x, y)[source]#

Calculates and returns the area of a 2-D simple polygon.

Input vertices must be in sequence (clockwise or counterclockwise). x and y are arrays that give the x- and y-axis coordinates of the polygon’s vertices.

Parameters:
  • x (ndarray) – x-coordinates of of polygon vertices.

  • y (ndarray) – y-coordinates of of polygon vertices.

Returns:

out – Area of the polygon

Return type:

float

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from landlab.grid.voronoi import simple_poly_area
>>> x = np.array([3.0, 1.0, 1.0, 3.0])
>>> y = np.array([1.5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.5])
>>> simple_poly_area(x, y)
2.0

If the input coordinate arrays are 2D, calculate the area of each polygon. Note that when used in this mode, all polygons must have the same number of vertices, and polygon vertices are listed column-by-column.

>>> x = np.array([[3.0, 1.0, 1.0, 3.0], [-2.0, -2.0, -1.0, -1.0]]).T
>>> y = np.array([[1.5, 1.5, 0.5, 0.5], [0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 0.0]]).T
>>> simple_poly_area(x, y)
array([ 2. ,  1.5])
