class quakemigrate.lut.lut.Grid3D(ll_corner, ur_corner, node_spacing, grid_proj, coord_proj)[source]

Bases: object

A grid object represents a collection of points in a 3-D Cartesian space that can be used to produce regularised traveltime lookup tables that sample the continuous traveltime space for each station in a seismic network.

This class also provides the series of transformations required to move between the input projection, the grid projection and the grid index coordinate spaces.

The size and shape specifications of the grid are defined by providing the (input projection) coordinates for the lower-left and upper-right corners, a node spacing and the projections (defined using pyproj) of the input and grid spaces.

coord_proj

Input coordinate space projection.

Type:pyproj.Proj object
grid_corners

Type:array-like, shape (8, 3)
grid_proj

Number of nodes in each dimension of the grid. This is calculated by finding the number of nodes with a given node spacing that fit between the lower-left and upper-right corners. This value is rounded up if the number of nodes returned is non-integer, to ensure the requested area is included in the grid.

Type:array-like, [int, int, int]
node_spacing

Distance between nodes in each dimension of the grid.

Type:array-like, [float, float, float]
