Module heights

Classes HeightCubic, HeightIDWcosineLaw, HeightIDWequirectangular, HeightIDWeuclidean, HeightIDWhaversine, HeightIDWkarney, HeightIDWvincentys, HeightLinear, HeightLSQBiSpline and HeightSmoothBiSpline to interpolate the height of LatLon locations or separate lat-/longitudes from a set of LatLon points with known heights.

Classes HeightCubic and HeightLinear require package numpy, classes HeightLSQBiSpline and HeightSmoothBiSpline require package scipy and class HeightIDWkarney requires Charles Karney's geographiclib to be installed.

Typical usage is as follows. First create an interpolator from a given set of LatLon points with known heights, called knots.

hinterpolator = HeightXyz(knots, **options)

Get the interpolated height of other LatLon location(s) with

h = hinterpolator(ll)

or

h0, h1, h2, ... = hinterpolator(ll0, ll1, ll2, ...)

or

hs = hinterpolator(lls) # list, tuple, generator, ...

For separate lat-/longitudes invoke the .height method

h = hinterpolator.height(lat, lon)

or

h0, h1, h2, ... = hinterpolator.height(lats, lons) # list, ...

The knots do not need to be ordered for any of the height interpolators.

Errors from scipy as raised as SciPyErrors. Warnings issued by scipy can be thrown as SciPyWarning exceptions, provided Python warnings are filtered accordingly, see SciPyWarning.
