McUtils.Coordinerds
The Coordinerds package implements stuff for dealing with coordinates and generalized coordinate systems
It provides a semi-symbolic way to represent a CoordinateSystem and a CoordinateSet that provides coordinates within a coordinate system. An extensible system for converting between coordinate systems and is provided.
The basic design of the package is set up so that one creates a CoordinateSet
object, which in turn tracks its CoordinateSystem
.
A CoordinateSet
is a subclass of np.ndarray
, and so any operation that works for a np.ndarray
will work in turn for CoordinateSet
.
This provides a large amount flexibility.
The CoordinateSystem
object handles much of the heavy lifting for a CoordinateSet
.
Conversions between different systems are implemented by a CoordinateSystemConverter
.
Chained conversions are not currently supported, but might well become supported in the future.
