pyolex

A python library for writing Olex plotlayer ("Ruter") files including utility functions for converting decimal degrees to decimal minutes. Reading is planned implemented in the future.

Installation from pypi

pip3 install pyolex

Dependencies

The project has no major dependencies. Some examples may require more advanced dependencies like pandas.

Usage

Convert Decimal Degrees to Decimal Minutes (Olex-format)

Example code:

import pyolex

dd_coord = pyolex.DecimalDegreeCoord(61.6296187, 5.01738467)
min_coord = pyolex.decimal_degrees_to_decimal_minutes(dd_coord, precision=7)
print(min_coord.lat, min_coord.lon)

Output: 3697.777122 301.0430802

Make a towline

Example code:

import pyolex

start_lat, start_lon = (61.6296187, 5.01738467)
stop_lat, stop_lon = (61.6396187, 5.01538467)

start_coord = pyolex.DecimalDegreeCoord(start_lat, start_lon)
stop_coord = pyolex.DecimalDegreeCoord(start_lat, start_lon)

towline = pyolex.TowlineObject(plotset=1,linecolor=pyolex.Color.RED, tow_start_dd=start_coord, tow_stop_dd=stop_coord)

print(towline)

Output:

Rutetype Strek
Linjefarge Rød
