pygplates.GpmlTopologicalNetwork

class pygplates.GpmlTopologicalNetwork

Bases: PropertyValue

A topological deforming network that is resolved from boundary topological sections and interior geometries.

Note

If an interior geometry is a polygon then it becomes an interior rigid block.

A GpmlTopologicalNetwork can also be pickled.

Added in version 0.21.

Changed in version 0.42: Added pickle support.

__init__(boundary_sections[, interiors=None])

Create a topological network made from boundary topological sections and interior geometries.

Parameters:

boundary_sections (Any sequence such as a list or a tuple) – A sequence of GpmlTopologicalSection elements
interiors (Any sequence such as a list or a tuple) – A sequence of GpmlPropertyDelegate elements

topological_network = pygplates.GpmlTopologicalNetwork(boundary_sections, interiors)

Methods

`__init__`(boundary_sections, [interiors=None])	Create a topological network made from boundary topological sections and interior geometries.
`accept_visitor`(visitor)	Accept a property value visitor so that it can visit this property value.
`clone`()	Create a duplicate of this property value (derived) instance, including a recursive copy of any nested property values that this instance might contain.
`get_boundary_sections`()	Returns the `boundary sections` in a sequence that behaves as a python `list`.
`get_geometry`()	Extracts the `geometry` if this property value contains a geometry.
`get_interiors`()	Returns the `interior geometries` in a sequence that behaves as a python `list`.
`get_value`([time=0])	Extracts the value, of this possibly time-dependent property value, at the reconstruction time.

get_boundary_sections()

Returns the boundary sections in a sequence that behaves as a python list.

Return type:: GpmlTopologicalSectionList

Modifying the returned sequence will modify the internal state of the GpmlTopologicalNetwork instance:

boundary_sections = topological_network.get_boundary_sections()

# Append a section
boundary_sections.append(pygplates.GpmlTopologicalLineSection(...))

get_interiors()

Returns the interior geometries in a sequence that behaves as a python list.

Return type:: GpmlPropertyDelegateList

Modifying the returned sequence will modify the internal state of the GpmlTopologicalNetwork instance:

interiors = topological_network.get_interiors()

# Append an interior
interiors.append(pygplates.GpmlPropertyDelegate(...))
