Class GaussianCloud

Call the subclass's 'function' method on a rotated and scaled coordinate system.

Creates and fills an array with the requested pattern. If called without any params, uses the values for the Parameters as currently set on the object. Otherwise, any params specified override those currently set on the object.

Overrides: base.patterngenerator.PatternGenerator.__call__

(inherited documentation)

operator

Binary Numpy function used to combine the individual patterns.

Any binary Numpy array "ufunc" returning the same type of array as the operands and supporting the reduce operator is allowed here. Supported ufuncs include:

add
subtract
multiply
divide
maximum
minimum
remainder
power
logical_and
logical_or
logical_xor

The most useful ones are probably add and maximum, but there are uses for at least some of the others as well (e.g. to remove pieces of other patterns).

You can also write your own operators, by making a class that has a static method named "reduce" that returns an array of the same size and type as the arrays in the list. For example:

class return_first(object):
    @staticmethod
    def reduce(x):
        return x[0]

Value:

param.Parameter(numpy.multiply)

gaussian_size

Value:

param.Number(default= 1.0, doc= "Size of the Gaussian pattern.")

aspect_ratio

Value:

param.Number(default= 1.0, bounds= (0.0, None), softbounds= (0.0, 2.0), precedence = 0.31, doc= """ Ratio of gaussian width to height; width is gaussian_size*aspect_ratio.""" )
