apexpy 1.0.1

Quick start

Install (requires NumPy):

pip install apexpy

Conversion is done by creating an Apex object and using its methods to perform the desired calculations. Some simple examples:

>>> from apexpy import Apex
>>> A = Apex(date=2015.3)  # datetime objects are also supported
>>> # geo to apex, scalar input
>>> mlat, mlon = A.convert(60, 15, 'geo', 'apex', height=300)
>>> mlat
57.469573974609375
>>> mlon
93.633583068847656
>>> # apex to geo, array input
>>> glat, glon = A.convert([90, -90], 0, 'apex', 'geo', height=0)
>>> glat
array([ 83.09959412, -74.38826752])
>>> glon
array([ -84.59458923,  125.71492767])
>>> # geo to MLT
>>> import datetime as dt
>>> mlat, mlt = A.convert(60, 15, 'geo', 'mlt', datetime=dt.datetime(2015, 2, 10, 18, 0, 0))
>>> mlat
56.590423583984375
>>> mlt
19.108103879292806
>>> # can also convert magnetic longitude to mlt
>>> mlt = A.mlon2mlt(120, dt.datetime(2015, 2, 10, 18, 0, 0))
>>> mlt
20.893547503153481

If you don’t know or use Python, you can also use the command line. See details in the full documentation.
