style_to_use	String	The name of the `point_style()` to be used (Default = `None`).
hidden	Bool	A value of `True` or `False` where `False` means that the point will be visible. (Default = `False`).

Return

Return	Type	Description
placemark	Object	An XML element representing a KML Placemark.

About a Point

The first thing that is needed to define a point() is a coordinate set that marks the location of where the point is to be mapped. A coordinate set contains three values: X, Y, Z

X = Longitude in decimal degrees
Y = Latitude in decimal degrees
Z = Height in meters

The point will also need a name. The point's name will be the value used to label the point on the map.

When the point is clicked on in the map, additional information can be displayed. This additional information is defined with headers (optional) and attributes (optional) parameters. Headers & Attributes work together and can be thought of as a table with "headers" being the top row and "attributes " being the second row.

City	Building	Height (m)
Boston	Custom House Tower	151

The altitude mode (optional) defines the way the z-coordinate (height) is mapped. When no altitude mode is given, "CTG" is used as the default.

CTG = Clamp to Ground. Ignores any altitude value and places the feature on the surface of the ground.
RTG = Relative to Ground. Measures the altitude from the ground level directly below the coordinates.
ABS = Absolute. Altitude relative to mean sea level.

A point can optionally be stylized. The style to use (optional) parameter is the name of the style to be applied to the point. A point's style is defined with the point_style() function.

Optionally, the point can be set to be visible or not with the hidden (optional) parameter. Setting hidden to True will hide the point on the map when the map first opens. The map user can make the point visible again in the map. Hide points when the data is to be included, but the data may clutter the map. Points are visible by default.

Example

A point with no style applied.

import kmlb

# Define a point that marks the top of Boston's Custom House Tower

# Defining the point's arguments ahead of defining the point
coords = [-71.053568, 42.359053, 151]
name = 'Custom House Tower'
attribute_titles = ['City', 'Building', 'Height (M)']
attributes = ['Boston', 'Custom House Tower', '151']

# Define the point
placemark = kmlb.point(coords, name, attribute_titles, attributes, 'RTG')

About a Line

Defining a line() is very similar to defining a point() with the main difference being how the coordinates (coords) argument is formatted prior to being passed to the line() function. A line is composed of two coordinates sets - a starting point and an ending point. A polyline is composed of three or more coordinates sets - a starting point, mid point/s, and an ending point. In the KMLB Package, the line() function can accept coordinate sets for both lines and polylines.

To define a line, place two [X, Y, Z] coordinate sets within [] like so:

line_coords = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2]]

To define a polyline, place three or more coordinate sets within [] like so:

polyline_coords = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2], [X3, Y3, Z3]]

A line's style to use (optional) parameter is the name of the style to be applied to the line. A line's style is defined with the line_style() function.

If two vertices of a line or polyline are very far apart, the shortest distance between them, will be through the Earth. Likewise, if a mountain is between two vertices of a line, the line will go through the mountain rather than over it. To avoid having the mapped line go through the Earth (or any terrain that may be between vertices) keep the follow terrain (optional) parameter set to True.

If the line being mapped is elevated above the surface of the Earth, it is possible to fill the area below the line and above the Earth's surface with a color. If the extrude to ground (optional) parameter is set to True, the extrude_color defined in lines_style() will be displayed.

Example

A polyline with no style applied.

# Define a polyline that marks the path from Boston's Custom House Tower to the Boston Aquarium

# Z-coord is set to zero since altitude mode will be 'CTG'
coords = [[-71.053568, 42.359053, 0],
          [-71.053266, 42.359099, 0],
          [-71.053289, 42.359289, 0],
          [-71.050779, 42.359672, 0],
          [-71.050784, 42.359200, 0],
          [-71.050429, 42.359002, 0],
          [-71.049882, 42.359063, 0]]

name = 'Path to Aquarium'
attribute_titles = ['City', 'Starting Point', 'Ending Point']
attributes = ['Boston', 'Custom House Tower', 'Boston Aquarium']

# Define the line
placemark = kmlb.line(coords, name, attribute_titles, attributes)

About a Polygon

A polygon() is defined by a single outer ring and any number of inner rings. Each ring is similar to a polyline, with the only difference being that the first and final coordinate set of the ring match each other. The first and final coordinate sets of each ring need to match so that the polyline "closes" and forms a polygon. In this way, a tringle will be defined by four vertices or coordinates sets. Each ring must be contain at least three distinct coordinate sets.

Outer Ring: Forms the exterior boundary of a polygon. A polygon can only have one outer ring defined.
Inner Ring: Forms an interior hole within a polygon's outer ring. A polygon can have any number of inner rings defined.

A polygon is structured as follows:

Polygon = [OuterRing, InnerRing1, InnerRing2, ....]

Inner rings are optional. The geometry of a polygon can be defined with a single outer ring like so:

Polygon = [OuterRing]

To define an outer or inner ring of a polygon, place at least four [X, Y, Z] coordinate sets within [] like so:

ring_coords = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2], [X3, Y3, Z3], [X1, Y1, Z1]]

To define a polygon without any interior holes:

outer_ring = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2], [X3, Y3, Z3], [X1, Y1, Z1]]
polygon_coords = [outering]

To define a polygon with two interior holes:

outer_ring = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2], [X3, Y3, Z3], [X1, Y1, Z1]]

inner_ring1 = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2], [X3, Y3, Z3], [X1, Y1, Z1]]
inner_ring2 = [[X1, Y1, Z1], [X2, Y2, Z2], [X3, Y3, Z3], [X1, Y1, Z1]]

polygon_coords = [outering, inner_ring1, inner_ring2]

Example

A polygon with a hole and no style applied.

# Define a polygon that outlines a portion of the Greenway with a hole for Rings Fountain

# Define a polygon's parameters ahead of defining the polygon.
# Z-coord is set to zero since altitude mode will be 'CTG'
outer_ring = [[-71.052336,42.359485,0],

Folder Function

Create a Folder

Create a folder to hold loose KLM geometry elements or other folders.

folder()

folder(name, loose_items, description='', collapsed=True, hidden=True)

Parameters:

Required Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	String	The name of the folder to be created.
loose_items	List	A list of loose items to include in the new folder.

Optional Parameters

The default fill color of a polygon is a light transparent blue with a solid yellow outline.

Return	Type	Description
new_folder	Object	An XML element representing a KML folder.

Example

Create a folder to hold a point and line.

pt_ coords = [-71.053568, 42.359053, 151]
pt_name = 'Custom House Tower'

pt_attributes = ['Boston', 'Custom House Tower', '151']

# Define point
pt = kmlb.point(pt_coords, name, pt_headers, pt_attributes, 'RTG')

# Define a polyline that marks the path from Boston's Custom House Tower to the Boston Aquarium

Creating a KML

KML

Create a folder to hold loose KLM geometry elements or other folders.

kml()

kml(name, features, path, description='', styles=None, collapsed=True)

Parameters:

Required Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	String	The name of the KML. Note: this is not the KML's file name, but rather the name that will appear within the map.
features	List	A list of feature to be written to the KML. The list of features can include points, lines, polygons, and folders.
path	String	The path to the folder where the KML file will be written to. Necessary folders will be created of they do not exist. The KML's file name is defined in the path. Note: The file path should end `.kml`

Optional Parameters

The default fill color of a polygon is a light transparent blue with a solid yellow outline.

Parameter	Type	Description
description	String	A small body of descriptive text for the KML file.
styles	List	A list of styles to be written to and used within the KML.
collapsed	Bool	Sets the root KML folder to either be open or collapsed by default. `False` = Folder is open/expanded. (Default = `True`)

Return

Return	Type	Description
---	---	This function does not return anything.
