Usage Example

"""Example script to create visibility maps."""

from fdsvismap import VisMap
from pathlib import Path
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

project_root = Path(__file__).parent
bg_img = project_root / "misc" / "floorplan.png"

# Set path for FDS simulation directory and background image.
sim_dir = str(project_root / "fds_data")

# Create instance of VisMap class
vis = VisMap()
vis.quantity = 'SOOT EXTINCTION COEFFICIENT'

# Read data from FDS simulation directory.
vis.read_fds_data(sim_dir)

# Add background image.
vis.add_background_image(bg_img)

# Set starpoint and waypoints along escape route.
vis.set_start_point(1, 9)
vis.set_waypoint(1, 8.4, 4.8, 3, 0)
vis.set_waypoint(2, 9.8, 4, 3, 270)

# Set times when the simulation should be evaluated.
times = range(0, 500, 50)
vis.set_time_points(times)

# Add a visual obstruction that affects visibility calculations.
vis.add_visual_obstruction(8, 8.8, 4.6, 4.8)

# Do the required calculations to create the Vismap.
vis.compute_all()

# # Plot ASET map based on Vismaps and save as pdf.

ax.set_xlim(0, 20)

# # Plot time and waypoint aggregated Vismap and save as pdf.

# Calculate visibility at given location and time relative to a waypoint, considering a specific c factor.
