class
Event
(force_resource_id=True, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
obspy.core.event.base.__Event
The class Event describes a seismic event which does not necessarily need to be a tectonic earthquake. An event is usually associated with one or more origins, which contain information about focal time and geographical location of the event. Multiple origins can cover automatic and manual locations, a set of location from different agencies, locations generated with different location programs and earth models, etc. Furthermore, an event is usually associated with one or more magnitudes, and with one or more focal mechanism determinations.
Parameters: - resource_id (
ResourceIdentifier
) – Resource identifier of Event. - force_resource_id (bool, optional) – If set to False, the automatic initialization of resource_id attribute in case it is not specified will be skipped.
- event_type (str, optional) – Describes the type of an event.
See
EventType
for allowed values. - event_type_certainty (str, optional) – Denotes how certain the information on event
type is.
See
EventTypeCertainty
for allowed values. - creation_info (
CreationInfo
, optional) – Creation information used to describe author, version, and creation time. - event_descriptions (list of
EventDescription
) – Additional event description, like earthquake name, Flinn-Engdahl region, etc. - comments (list of
Comment
, optional) – Additional comments. - picks (list of
Pick
) – Picks associated with the event. - amplitudes (list of
Amplitude
) – Amplitudes associated with the event. - focal_mechanisms (list of
FocalMechanism
) – Focal mechanisms associated with the event - origins (list of
Origin
) – Origins associated with the event. - magnitudes (list of
Magnitude
) – Magnitudes associated with the event. - station_magnitudes (list of
StationMagnitude
) – Station magnitudes associated with the event.

items
keys
plot
Plot event location and/or the preferred focal mechanism and radiation pattern. 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. preferred_focal_mechanism
Returns the preferred focal mechanism preferred_magnitude
Returns the preferred magnitude preferred_origin
Returns the preferred origin setdefault
short_str
Returns a short string representation of the current Event. 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 values
write
Saves event information into a file. 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__
reset resource_id’s object_id after deep copy to allow the object specific behavior of get_referred_object __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__
Return repr(self). __setattr__
Custom property implementation that works if the class is inheriting from AttribDict. __setitem__
__setstate__
__sizeof__
Size of object in memory, in bytes. __str__
Print a short summary at the top. __subclasshook__
Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass(). - resource_id (
