get_registered_maps_as_objects_by_granularity(gran=None, dbif=None)[source]

Return all registered maps as ordered (by start_time) object list with “gap” map objects (id==None) for spatio-temporal topological operations that require the temporal extent only.

Each list entry is a list of AbstractMapDatasets objects which are potentially equal the actual granule, contain the actual granule or are located in the actual granule. Hence for each granule a list of AbstractMapDatasets can be expected.

Maps that overlap the granule are ignored.

The granularity of the space time dataset is used as increment in case the granule is not user defined.

A valid temporal topology (no overlapping or inclusion allowed) is needed to get correct results.

Space time datasets with interval time, time instances and mixed time are supported.

Gaps between maps are identified as unregistered maps with id==None.

The objects are initialized with their id’s’ and the spatio-temporal extent (temporal type, start time, end time, west, east, south, north, bottom and top). In case more map information are needed, use the select() method for each listed object.

Parameters
  • gran – The granularity string to be used, if None the granularity of the space time dataset is used. Absolute time has the format “number unit”, relative time has the format “number”. The unit in case of absolute time can be one of “second, seconds, minute, minutes, hour, hours, day, days, week, weeks, month, months, year, years”. The unit of the relative time granule is always the space time dataset unit and can not be changed.

  • dbif – The database interface to be used

Returns

ordered list of map lists. Each list represents a single granule, or None in case nothing found

get_registered_maps_as_objects_with_gaps(where=None, dbif=None, spatial_extent=None, spatial_relation=None)[source]

static resample_maplist_by_granularity(maps, start, end, gran)[source]

Resample a list of AbstractMapDatasets by a given granularity

The provided map list must be sorted by start time. A valid temporal topology (no overlapping or inclusion allowed) is needed to receive correct results.

Maps with interval time, time instances and mixed time are supported.

The temporal topology search order is as follows:

  1. Maps that are equal to the actual granule are used

  2. If no euqal found then maps that contain the actual granule are used

  3. If no maps are found that contain the actual granule then maps are used that overlaps the actual granule

  4. If no overlaps maps found then overlapped maps are used

  5. If no overlapped maps are found then maps are used that are durin the actual granule

Each entry in the resulting list is a list of AbstractMapDatasets objects. Hence for each granule a list of AbstractMapDatasets can be expected.

Gaps between maps are identified as unregistered maps with id==None.

Parameters
  • maps – An ordered list (by start time) of AbstractMapDatasets objects. All maps must have the same temporal type and the same unit in case of relative time.

  • start – The start time of the provided map list

  • end – The end time of the provided map list

  • gran – The granularity string to be used, if None the granularity of the space time dataset is used. Absolute time has the format “number unit”, relative time has the format “number”. The unit in case of absolute time can be one of “second, seconds, minute, minutes, hour, hours, day, days, week, weeks, month, months, year, years”. The unit of the relative time granule is always the space time dataset unit and can not be changed.

Returns

ordered list of map lists. Each list represents a single granule, or None in case nothing found

sample_by_dataset(stds, method=None, spatial=False, dbif=None)[source]

Sample this space time dataset with the temporal topology of a second space time dataset

In case spatial is True, the spatial overlap between temporal related maps is performed. Only temporal related and spatial overlapping maps are returned.

Return all registered maps as ordered (by start_time) object list. Each list entry is a list of map objects which are potentially located in temporal relation to the actual granule of the second space time dataset.

Each entry in the object list is a dict. The actual sampler map and its temporal extent (the actual granule) and the list of samples are stored:

list = self.sample_by_dataset(stds=sampler, method=[
    "during","overlap","contains","equal"])
for entry in list:
    granule = entry["granule"]
    maplist = entry["samples"]
    for map in maplist:
        map.select()
        map.print_info()

A valid temporal topology (no overlapping or inclusion allowed) is needed to get correct results in case of gaps in the sample dataset.

Gaps between maps are identified as unregistered maps with id==None.

The objects are initialized with their id’s’ and the spatio-temporal extent (temporal type, start time, end time, west, east, south, north, bottom and top). In case more map information are needed, use the select() method for each listed object.

Parameters

      map    :  s-----------e
      granule:              s-----------e
      

    All these methods can be combined. Method must be of type tuple including the identification strings.

  • spatial – If set True additional the 2d spatial overlapping is used for selection -> spatio-temporal relation. The returned map objects will have temporal and spatial extents

In case spatial is True, the spatial overlap between temporal related maps is performed. Only temporal related and spatial overlapping maps are returned.

Return all registered maps as ordered (by start_time) object list with “gap” map objects (id==None). Each list entry is a list of map objects which are potentially located in temporal relation to the actual granule of the second space time dataset.

Each entry in the object list is a dict. The actual sampler map and its temporal extent (the actual granule) and the list of samples are stored:

list = self.sample_by_dataset(stds=sampler, method=[
    "during","overlap","contain","equal"])
for entry in list:
    granule = entry["granule"]

unregister_map(map, dbif=None, execute=True)[source]

Unregister a map from the space time dataset.

This method takes care of the un-registration of a map from a space time dataset.

Parameters
  • map – The map object to unregister

  • dbif – The database interface to be used

  • execute – If True the SQL DELETE and DROP table statements will be executed. If False the prepared SQL statements are returned and must be executed by the caller.

Returns

The SQL statements if execute == False, else an empty string, None in case of a failure

update_command_string(dbif=None)[source]

Append the current command string to any existing command string in the metadata class and calls metadata update

Parameters

dbif – The database interface to be used

update_from_registered_maps(dbif=None)[source]

This methods updates the modification time, the spatial and temporal extent as well as type specific metadata. It should always been called after maps are registered or unregistered/deleted from the space time dataset.

The update of the temporal extent checks if the end time is set correctly. In case the registered maps have no valid end time (None) the maximum start time will be used. If the end time is earlier than the maximum start time, it will be replaced by the maximum start time.

Parameters

dbif – The database interface to be used

grass.temporal.aggregation module

Aggregation methods for space time raster datasets

Usage:

import grass.temporal as tgis

tgis.aggregate_raster_maps(dataset, mapset, inputs, base, start, end, count, method, register_null, dbif)

class grass.temporal.c_libraries_interface.CLibrariesInterface[source]

Bases: grass.pygrass.rpc.base.RPCServerBase

Fast and exit-safe interface to GRASS C-libraries functions

This class implements a fast and exit-safe interface to the GRASS gis, raster, 3D raster and vector C-libraries functions.

The C-libraries functions are called via ctypes in a subprocess using a pipe (multiprocessing.Pipe) to transfer the text messages. Hence, the process that uses the CLibrariesInterface will not be exited, if a G_fatal_error() was invoked in the subprocess. In this case the CLibrariesInterface object will simply start a new subprocess and restarts the pipeline.

Usage:

>>> import grass.script as gscript
>>> import grass.temporal as tgis
>>> gscript.use_temp_region()
>>> gscript.run_command("g.region", n=80.0, s=0.0, e=120.0, w=0.0,
... t=1.0, b=0.0, res=10.0, res3=10.0)

grass.temporal.core.create_temporal_database(dbif)[source]

This function will create the temporal database

It will create all tables and triggers that are needed to run the temporal GIS

Parameters

dbif – The database interface to be used

grass.temporal.core.get_available_temporal_mapsets()[source]

Return a list of of mapset names with temporal database driver and names that are accessible from the current mapset.

Returns

A dictionary, mapset names are keys, the tuple (driver, database) are the values

grass.temporal.core.get_current_gisdbase()[source]

Return the current gis database (gisdbase)

This is the fastest way to receive the current gisdbase. The current gisdbase is set by init() and stored in a global variable. This function provides access to this global variable.

grass.temporal.core.get_current_location()[source]

Return the current location

This is the fastest way to receive the current location. The current location is set by init() and stored in a global variable. This function provides access to this global variable.

grass.temporal.core.get_current_mapset()[source]

Return the current mapset

This is the fastest way to receive the current mapset. The current mapset is set by init() and stored in a global variable. This function provides access to this global variable.

grass.temporal.core.get_database_info_string()[source]
grass.temporal.core.get_enable_mapset_check()[source]

Return True if the mapsets should be checked while insert, update, delete requests and space time dataset registration.

If this global variable is set True, then maps can only be registered in space time datasets with the same mapset. In addition, only maps in the current mapset can be inserted, updated or deleted from the temporal database. Overwrite this global variable by: g.gisenv set=”TGIS_DISABLE_MAPSET_CHECK=True”

..warning:

Be aware to face corrupted temporal database in case this
global variable is set to False. This feature is highly
experimental and violates the grass permission guidance.
grass.temporal.core.get_enable_timestamp_write()[source]

Return True if the map timestamps should be written to the spatial database metadata as well.

If this global variable is set True, the timestamps of maps will be written as textfiles for each map that will be inserted or updated in the temporal database using the C-library timestamp interface. Overwrite this global variable by: g.gisenv set=”TGIS_DISABLE_TIMESTAMP_WRITE=True”

..warning:

Be aware that C-libraries can not access timestamp information if
they are not written as spatial database metadata, hence modules

grass.temporal.core.init(raise_fatal_error=False, skip_db_version_check=False)[source]

This function set the correct database backend from GRASS environmental variables and creates the grass temporal database structure for raster, vector and raster3d maps as well as for the space-time datasets strds, str3ds and stvds in case it does not exist.

Several global variables are initiated and the messenger and C-library interface subprocesses are spawned.

Re-run this function in case the following GRASS variables change while the process runs:

  • MAPSET

  • LOCATION_NAME

  • GISDBASE

  • TGIS_DISABLE_MAPSET_CHECK

  • TGIS_DISABLE_TIMESTAMP_WRITE

Re-run this function if the following t.connect variables change while the process runs:

  • temporal GIS driver (set by t.connect driver=)

  • temporal GIS database (set by t.connect database=)

The following environmental variables are checked:

  • GRASS_TGIS_PROFILE (True, False, 1, 0)

  • GRASS_TGIS_RAISE_ON_ERROR (True, False, 1, 0)

..warning:

This functions must be called before any spatio-temporal processing
can be started
param raise_fatal_error

Set this True to assure that the init() function does not kill a persistent process like the GUI. If set True a grass.pygrass.messages.FatalError exception will be raised in case a fatal error occurs in the init process, otherwise sys.exit(1) will be called.

param skip_db_version_check

Set this True to skip mismatch temporal database version check. Recommended to be used only for upgrade_temporal_database().

grass.temporal.core.init_dbif(dbif)[source]

This method checks if the database interface connection exists, if not a new one will be created, connected and True will be returned. If the database interface exists but is not connected, the connection will be established.

Returns

the tuple (dbif, connection_state_changed)

Usage code sample:

dbif, connection_state_changed = tgis.init_dbif(None)

sql = dbif.mogrify_sql_statement(["SELECT * FROM raster_base WHERE ? = ?"],
                                       ["id", "soil@PERMANENT"])
dbif.execute_transaction(sql)

if connection_state_changed:
    dbif.close()

Profiling function provided by the temporal framework

grass.temporal.core.set_raise_on_error(raise_exp=True)[source]

Define behavior on fatal error, invoked using the tgis messenger interface (msgr.fatal())

The messenger interface will be restarted using the new error policy

Parameters

raise_exp – True to raise a FatalError exception instead of calling sys.exit(1) when using the tgis messenger interface

>>> import grass.temporal as tgis
>>> tgis.init()
>>> ignore = tgis.set_raise_on_error(False)
>>> msgr = tgis.get_tgis_message_interface()
>>> tgis.get_raise_on_error()
False
>>> msgr.fatal("Ohh no no no!")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__init__.py", line 239, in fatal
    sys.exit(1)
SystemExit: 1

>>> tgis.set_raise_on_error(True)
False
>>> msgr.fatal("Ohh no no no!")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__init__.py", line 241, in fatal
    raise FatalError(message)
FatalError: Ohh no no no!
Returns

current status

grass.temporal.core.stop_subprocesses()[source]

Stop the messenger and C-interface subprocesses that are started by tgis.init()

grass.temporal.core.upgrade_temporal_database(dbif)[source]
