Class SheetView

For __init__(self, input_tuple, **params), there are three types of input_tuples:

(matrix_data, matrix_bbox)

This form locks the value of the sheetview to a single matrix. Terminating case of a composite SheetView.

(operation, [tuple_list])

'operation' is performed on the matrices collected from tuple_list. See the list of valid operations in operations.keys().

Each tuple in the tuple_list is one of the following:

(SheetView, None)
    Another SheetView may be passed in to create nested plots.
(matrix_data, bounding_box)
    Static matrix data complete with bounding box.
(Sheet, sheet_view_name)
    This gets sheet_name.sheet_view(sheet_view_name) each time
    the current SheetView has its data requested by .view().

(Sheet, sheet_view_name)

Degenerate case that will pull data from another SheetView and not do any additional processing. Don't yet know a use for this case, but documented for possible future use.

Overrides: object.__init__

Return the requested view as a (matrix, bbox) tuple.

If the constructor was given multiple maps, the view must be built before being returned, which may lock in new views of data from the specified sheets.

Inputs are in the variable self._view_list which is a list of tuples, with each tuple being a matrix and a bounding box, or a sheet and a map name. The sequence cannot be dumped into maps just once because the raw maps may have changed, so other sheets must be queried for the data repeatedly.

Convert the list of (matrix, bbox) tuples into a single matrix and another bounding box. Not a protected function as it could prove useful to other areas of the simulator.

THIS MUST BE EXPANDED IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE PROPER USE OF THE BOUNDING BOX INFORMATION. CURRENT (8/04) IMPLEMENTATION PASSES THE FIRST MAP IN THE LIST AS THE BOUNDING BOX FOR THE CONSTRUCTED VIEW.

WOULD HAVE DONE AN ADD/INTERSECTION/UNION, BUT BOUNDINGREGION DOES NOT YET SUPPORT SUCH OPERATIONS.

cyclic

Value:

param.Boolean(default= False, doc= """Whether or not the values in this View's mat rix represent a cyclic dimension.""")

norm_factor

Value:

param.Parameter(None, doc= """If cyclic is True, this value is the cyclic range."" ")
