obspy.core.stream.Stream

class Stream(traces=None)[source]

Bases: builtins.object

List like object of multiple ObsPy Trace objects.

Parameters:traces (list of Trace, optional) Initial list of ObsPy Trace objects.

Basic Usage

>>> trace1 = Trace()
>>> trace2 = Trace()
>>> stream = Stream(traces=[trace1, trace2])
>>> print(stream)  
2 Trace(s) in Stream:
...

Supported Operations

stream = streamA + streamB
Merges all traces within the two Stream objects streamA and streamB into the new Stream object stream. See also: Stream.__add__().
stream += streamA
Extends the Stream object stream with all traces from streamA. See also: Stream.__iadd__().
len(stream)
Returns the number of Traces in the Stream object stream. See also: Stream.__len__().
str(stream)
Contains the number of traces in the Stream object and returns the value of each Trace’s __str__ method. See also: Stream.__str__().

Attributes

__dict__
__doc__ str(object=’‘) -> str
__hash__
__module__ str(object=’‘) -> str
__weakref__ list of weak references to the object (if defined)
