obspy.core.event.base.ConfidenceEllipsoid

class ConfidenceEllipsoid(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: obspy.core.event.base.__ConfidenceEllipsoid

This class represents a description of the location uncertainty as a confidence ellipsoid with arbitrary orientation in space. See the QuakeML documentation for the full details

Parameters:
  • semi_major_axis_length – Largest uncertainty, corresponding to the semi-major axis of the confidence ellipsoid. Unit: m
  • semi_minor_axis_length – Smallest uncertainty, corresponding to the semi-minor axis of the confidence ellipsoid. Unit: m
  • semi_intermediate_axis_length – Uncertainty in direction orthogonal to major and minor axes of the confidence ellipsoid. Unit: m
  • major_axis_plunge – Plunge angle of major axis of confidence ellipsoid. Corresponds to Tait-Bryan angle φ. Unit: deg
  • major_axis_azimuth – Azimuth angle of major axis of confidence ellipsoid. Corresponds to Tait-Bryan angle ψ. Unit: deg
  • major_axis_rotation – This angle describes a rotation about the confidence ellipsoid’s major axis which is required to define the direction of the ellipsoid’s minor axis. Corresponds to Tait-Bryan angle θ. Unit: deg

pop If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.
popitem as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.
setdefault
update If E present and has a .keys() method, does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E present and lacks .keys() method, does: for (k, v) in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k, v in F.items(): D[k] = v

Private Methods

Warning

Private methods are mainly for internal/developer use and their API might change without notice.

_pretty_str Return better readable string representation of AttribDict object.
_repr_pretty_

Special Methods

__bool__
__contains__
__deepcopy__
__delattr__
__delitem__
__dir__ Default dir() implementation.
__eq__ Two instances are considered equal if all attributes and all lists are identical.
__format__ Default object formatter.
__getattr__ Py3k hasattr() expects an AttributeError no KeyError to be raised if the attribute is not found.
__getitem__
__getstate__
__init__
__init_subclass__ This method is called when a class is subclassed.
__iter__
__len__
__ne__
__new__ Create and return a new object.
__nonzero__
__reduce__ Helper for pickle.
__reduce_ex__ Helper for pickle.
__repr__
__setattr__ Custom property implementation that works if the class is inheriting from AttribDict.
__setitem__
__setstate__
__sizeof__ Size of object in memory, in bytes.
__str__ Fairly extensive in an attempt to cover several use cases.
__subclasshook__ Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().
