Special Methods

VelocityModel.__delattr__(name, /)

Implement delattr(self, name).

VelocityModel.__dir__()

Default dir() implementation.

VelocityModel.__eq__(value, /)

Return self==value.

VelocityModel.__format__(format_spec, /)

Default object formatter.

VelocityModel.__ge__(value, /)

Return self>=value.

VelocityModel.__getattribute__(name, /)

Return getattr(self, name).

VelocityModel.__gt__(value, /)

Return self>value.

VelocityModel.__hash__()

Return hash(self).

VelocityModel.__init__(model_name, radius_of_planet, min_radius, max_radius, moho_depth, cmb_depth, iocb_depth, is_spherical, layers=None)

Object for storing a seismic planet model.

Parameters

• model_name (str) – name of the velocity model.

• radius_of_planet (float) – reference radius (km), usually radius of the planet.

• min_radius (float) – Minimum radius of the model (km).

• max_radius (float) – Maximum radius of the model (km).

• moho_depth (float) – Depth (km) of the Moho. It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set. For phase naming, the tau model will choose the closest first order discontinuity.

• cmb_depth (float) – Depth (km) of the CMB (core mantle boundary). It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set.

• iocb_depth (float) – Depth (km) of the IOCB (inner core-outer core boundary). It can be input from velocity model (*.nd) or should be explicitly set.

• is_spherical (bool) – Is this a spherical model? Defaults to true.

• layers (list) – The layers of the model.

VelocityModel.__init_subclass__()

This method is called when a class is subclassed.

The default implementation does nothing. It may be overridden to extend subclasses.

VelocityModel.__le__(value, /)

Return self<=value.

VelocityModel.__len__()

VelocityModel.__lt__(value, /)

Return self<value.

VelocityModel.__ne__(value, /)

Return self!=value.

VelocityModel.__new__(**kwargs)

VelocityModel.__reduce__()

Helper for pickle.

VelocityModel.__reduce_ex__(protocol, /)

Helper for pickle.

VelocityModel.__repr__()

Return repr(self).

VelocityModel.__setattr__(name, value, /)

Implement setattr(self, name, value).

VelocityModel.__sizeof__()

Size of object in memory, in bytes.

VelocityModel.__str__()

VelocityModel.__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).
