Method Details

__new__ (cls, a, f, **name)
Static Method

 

New a_f2Tuple ellipsoid specification.

Arguments:
  • a - Equatorial radius (scalar > 0).
  • f - Flattening (scalar < 1, negative for prolate).
  • name - Optional name=NN (str).
Returns: a new object with type S, a subtype of T
An a_f2Tuple(a, f) instance.
Raises:
Overrides: object.__new__

Note: abs(f) < EPS is forced to f=0, spherical. Negative f produces a prolate ellipsoid.

ellipsoid (self, **name)

 

Return an Ellipsoid for this 2-tuple (a, f).

Arguments:
  • name - Optional name=NN (str).
Raises:
  • NameError - A registered ellipsoid with the same name already exists.

Property Details

b

Get method:
_fget(inst) - Get and cache/memoize the property value.
Set method:
_fset_error(inst, val) - Throws an AttributeError, always.
Delete Method:
_fdel(inst) - Zap the cached/memoized property value.

f_

Get method:
_fget(inst) - Get and cache/memoize the property value.
Set method:
_fset_error(inst, val) - Throws an AttributeError, always.
Delete Method:
_fdel(inst) - Zap the cached/memoized property value.
