3. API reference

3.1. Classes

pypago.sections.Section(name, lon, lat, dire)	Section endpoint object.
pypago.sections.GridSection(grid, section)	Gridded section object

3.2. Processing model grid

pypago.coords.create_coord(modelname, filename)	Returns a Coord object, depending on the modelname
pypago.grid.create_grid(coord[, jmin, jmax, ...])	Returns a Grid instance associated with the input coord argument.
pypago.sections.extract_grid_sections(grid, ...)	Extract a list of GridSection objects from a grid object (containing coordinates and scale factors) and a list of section endpoints.

3.3. Input/Output

pypago.pyio.save(dictio, filename)	Function that saves a variable object into a file.
pypago.pyio.load(filename)	Loads a file and reads its content.
pypago.pyio.read_time(filename, time_varname)	Reads the time variable of a NetCDF time.

3.4. NetCDF conversion

pypago.nc

Module that contains various functions dedicated to the conversion of PyPAGO outputs into NetCDF files` to .nc files

3.5. Loading data

pypago.data.loaddata_sec_t(model_sections, ...)	Extracts the model output from model T-grid points and interpolates them on section west and north faces. The extracted data are added to the input file::.
pypago.data.loaddata_sec_uv(model_sections, ...)	Extracts the model output, interpolates if needed on west and north faces, and saves only the data along preselected sections and areas in structfile.
pypago.data.loaddata_sec_uv_roms(...)	Extracts the model output, interpolates if needed on west and north faces, and saves only the data along preselected sections and areas in structfile.
pypago.data.loaddata_area_t(model_areas, ...)	Extracts the model output from model T-grid points and interpolates them on section west and north faces. The extracted data are added to the input file::.

3.6. Miscellaneous

pypago.misc.findsecnum(model_sections, ...)	Determines the index of a section in a list of sections
pypago.misc.finddomnum(model_areas, areaplotname)	Determines the index of a domain in a list of domains

3.7. Scientific calculations

pypago.secdiag	Module that handles transport calculation across gridded sections
pypago.areadiag	Module that handles domain calculation into domains

3.8. Plotting

pypago.plot.plot_dom_mask(grid[, gridsec, ...])	Draws the final plot.
pypago.plot.pcolplot(secstruct, vartoplot, ...)	Pcolor of a variable contained in a gridded section.
pypago.plot.contourplot(secstruct, ...[, ...])	Contourplot of a variable contained in a gridded section.
