property cells

Return the number of cells

property cols

Set and obtain number of columns

property depths

Set and obtain number of depths

property east

Set and obtain east coordinate

property ewres

Set and obtain east-west resolution value

from_rast(raster_name)

Set the region from the computational region of a raster map layer.

Parameters

• raster_name (str) – the name of raster

• mapset (str) – the mapset of raster

call C function Rast_get_cellhd

Example

>>> reg = Region()
>>> reg.from_rast(test_raster_name)
>>> reg.get_bbox()

Bbox(50.0, 0.0, 60.0, 0.0) >>> reg.read() >>> reg.get_bbox() Bbox(40.0, 0.0, 40.0, 0.0)

from_vect(vector_name)

Adjust bounding box of region using a vector

Parameters

vector_name (str) – the name of vector

Example

>>> reg = Region()
>>> reg.from_vect(test_vector_name)
>>> reg.get_bbox()

Bbox(6.0, 0.0, 14.0, 0.0) >>> reg.read() >>> reg.get_bbox() Bbox(40.0, 0.0, 40.0, 0.0)

get_bbox()

Return a Bbox object with the extension of the region.

>>> reg = Region()
>>> reg.get_bbox()
Bbox(40.0, 0.0, 40.0, 0.0)

get_current()

Get the current working region of this process and store it into this Region object

Previous calls to set_current() affects values returned by this function. Previous calls to read() affects values returned by this function only if the current working region is not initialized.

Example:

>>> r = Region()
>>> r.north
40.0

>>> r.north = 30
>>> r.north
30.0
>>> r.get_current()
>>> r.north
40.0

items()

Return a list of tuple with key and value.

keys()

Return a list of valid keys.

>>> reg = Region()
>>> reg.keys()                               
['proj', 'zone', ..., 'cols', 'cells']

property north

Set and obtain north coordinate

property nsres

Set and obtain north-south resolution value

property proj

Return a code for projection

read(force_read=True)

Read the region into this region object

Reads the region as stored in the WIND file in the user’s current mapset into region.

3D values are set to defaults if not available in WIND file. An error message is printed and exit() is called if there is a problem reading the region.

<b>Note:</b> GRASS applications that read or write raster maps should not use this routine since its use implies that the active module region will not be used. Programs that read or write raster map data (or vector data) can query the active module region using Rast_window_rows() and Rast_window_cols().

Parameters

force_read (boolean) – If True the WIND file of the current mapset is re-readed, otherwise the initial region set at process start will be loaded from the internal static variables.

read_default()

Get the default region

Reads the default region for the location in this Region object. 3D values are set to defaults if not available in WIND file.

An error message is printed and exit() is called if there is a problem reading the default region.

property rows

Set and obtain number of rows

set_bbox(bbox)

Set region extent from Bbox

Parameters

bbox (Bbox object) – a Bbox object to set the extent

>>> from grass.pygrass.vector.basic import Bbox
>>> b = Bbox(230963.640878, 212125.562878, 645837.437393, 628769.374393)
>>> reg = Region()
>>> reg.set_bbox(b)
>>> reg.get_bbox()
Bbox(230963.640878, 212125.562878, 645837.437393, 628769.374393)
>>> reg.get_current()

set_current()

Set the current working region from this region object

This function adjusts the values before setting the region so you don’t have to call G_adjust_Cell_head().

Attention: Only the current process is affected.

The GRASS computational region is not affected.

Example:

>>> r = Region()
>>> r.north

40.0 >>> r.south 0.0

>>> r.north = 30
>>> r.south = 20
>>> r.set_current()
>>> r.north
30.0
>>> r.south
20.0
>>> r.get_current()
>>> r.north
30.0
>>> r.south
20.0

>>> r.read(force_read=False)
>>> r.north
40.0
>>> r.south
0.0

>>> r.read(force_read=True)
>>> r.north
40.0
>>> r.south
0.0

set_raster_region()

Set the computational region (window) for all raster maps in the current process.

Attention: All raster objects must be closed or the

process will be terminated.

The Raster library C function Rast_set_window() is called.

property south

Set and obtain south coordinate

property tbres

Set and obtain top-bottom 3D value

property top

Set and obtain top value

property west

Set and obtain west coordinate

write()

Writes the region from this region object

This function writes this region to the Region file (WIND) in the users current mapset. This function should be carefully used, since the user will ot notice if his region was changed and would expect that only g.region will do this.

Example

>>> from copy import deepcopy
>>> r = Region()
>>> rn = deepcopy(r)
>>> r.north = 20
>>> r.south = 10

>>> r.write()
>>> r.read()
>>> r.north
20.0
>>> r.south
10.0

>>> rn.write()
>>> r.read()
>>> r.north
40.0
>>> r.south
0.0

>>> r.read_default()
>>> r.write()

property zone

Return the zone of projection

zoom(raster_name)

Shrink region until it meets non-NULL data from this raster map

Warning: This will change the user GRASS region settings

Parameters

raster_name (str) – the name of raster
