mt.geo.approximation

Registry to store all the approximations functions to approximate a geometric object from type A to type B.

Functions

• approx(): Approximates an object to a target type.

• approximable(): Checks if an object can be approximated to a target type.

• register_approx(): Registers a function to approximate an object from type A to type B.

• register_approximable(): Registers a function to check if we can approximate an object from type A to type B.

mt.geo.approximation.approx(obj, dst_type)

Approximates an object to a target type.

Parameters:

• obj (object) – object to approximate

• dst_type (type) – type or class to approx to

Returns:

the approx version of obj

Return type:

object

Raises:

NotImplementedError – if the approx function has not been registered using function register_approx

mt.geo.approximation.approximable(obj, dst_type)

Checks if an object can be approximated to a target type.

Parameters:

• obj (object) – object to approximate

• dst_type (type) – type or class to approx to

Returns:

whether or not the object is approximable to dst_type

Return type:

bool

Raises:

NotImplementedError – if the approximable function has not been registered using functions register_approximable or register_approx

mt.geo.approximation.register_approx(src_type, dst_type, func)

Registers a function to approximate an object from type A to type B.

Parameters:

• src_type (type) – type or class to approximate from

• dst_type (type) – type or class to approximate to

• func (function) – approx function to register

mt.geo.approximation.register_approximable(src_type, dst_type, func)

Registers a function to check if we can approximate an object from type A to type B.

Parameters:

• src_type (type) – type or class to approximate from

• dst_type (type) – type or class to approximate to

• func (function) – approximable function to register
