xy2pct 0.2.3

Convert track coordinates to percentages along a lap

xy2pct

A tool that pinpoints the percentage along a predetermined track of given coordinates.

Installation

To install the Python package, run:

pip install xy2pct

Workflow

Create track map

1. use the src/xy2pct/expy folder for generated track files
2. use generatelaparray.py to spit out a file with x, y, and z coordinates for the track. The data will appear in src/xy2pct/expy/(circuit_short_name).txt.
3. manually delete extra data points and assign relevant ones to pit lane by moving them under "Pit Lane:"
4. use parselaparray.py to check work (sample code to also go from file to array)

Use xy2pct

def xy2pct(x, y, z, circuit_short_name) -> [onTrack, percentage]

1. use the function xy2pct(x, y, z, circuit_short_name) to convert any x, y, and z(optional) to a percentage along the track you specify in circuit_short_name. to find the variable, use the openf1 docs: https://api.openf1.org/v1/meetings?year=2026&country_name=Singapore and replace the country name with the one you want, and then find the name beside circuit_short_name.
