gplately.PresentDayRasterManager

class gplately.PresentDayRasterManager(data_dir='present-day-rasters', raster_manifest=None)[source]

Manage the present-day rasters.

__init__(data_dir='present-day-rasters', raster_manifest=None)[source]

Constructor. Create a PresentDayRasterManager instance.

Parameters:

raster_manifest – The URL to a present_day_rasters.json metadata file. Normally you don’t need to provide this parameter unless you would like to setup your own present-day raster server.
data_dir – The path to a folder to save the present-day raster files.

Methods

`__init__`([data_dir, raster_manifest])	Constructor.
`get_raster`(_name[, width, height, bbox, ...])	Download a raster file by name, save the raster file in `self.data_dir` and return the local path to the raster file.
`is_wms`(_name[, check_raster_avail_flag])	Return `True` if the raster is served by `Web Map Service`, otherwise `False`
`list_present_day_rasters`()	Return a list of available present-day rasters.
`set_data_dir`(data_dir)	Set a new data folder to save the present-day rasters.

Attributes

The metadata of rasters.

get_raster(_name: str, width=1800, height=800, bbox=[-180, -80, 180, 80], large_file_hint=True)[source]

Download a raster file by name, save the raster file in self.data_dir and return the local path to the raster file.

Call list_present_day_rasters() to see a list of available present-day raster names.

is_wms(_name: str, check_raster_avail_flag=True)[source]

Return True if the raster is served by Web Map Service, otherwise False

Parameters:

_name (str) – The raster name of interest.
check_raster_avail_flag (bool) – If the flag is True, validate the raster name against the raster configuration.

list_present_day_rasters()[source]: Return a list of available present-day rasters.

set_data_dir(data_dir)[source]: Set a new data folder to save the present-day rasters.
