Overview
========

|docs| |version| |doi|

This is a Python wrapper for the Apex fortran library by
Emmert et al. [2010] [1]_, which allows converting between geodetic, modified
apex, and quasi-dipole coordinates as well as getting modified apex and
quasi-dipole base vectors (Richmond [1995] [2]_). The geodetic system used here
is WGS84. MLT calculations are also included. The package is free software
(MIT license).

Quick start
===========

Install from PyPI using ``pip``::

    pip install apexpy

This assumes that the same version of libgfortran is installed in the same
location as when the pip wheel was built (if a wheel was used). If not, you may
have trouble importing apexpy.  If you run into trouble, try the command::

    pip install --no-binary :apexpy: apexpy

which requires both libgfortran and gfortran to be installed on your system.
More detailed installation instructions (and troubleshooting) is available
in the
`documentation `_.

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

    from apexpy import Apex
    import datetime as dt
    atime = dt.datetime(2015, 2, 10, 18, 0, 0)
    apex15 = Apex(date=2015.3)  # dt.date and dt.datetime objects also work

    # Geodetic to apex, scalar input
    mlat, mlon = apex15.convert(60, 15, 'geo', 'apex', height=300)
    print("{:.12f}, {:.12f}".format(mlat, mlon))
    57.477310180664, 93.590156555176

    # Apex to geodetic, array input
    glat, glon = apex15.convert([90, -90], 0, 'apex', 'geo', height=0)
    print(["{:.12f}, {:.12f}".format(ll, glon[i]) for i,ll in enumerate(glat)])
    ['83.103820800781, -84.526657104492', '-74.388252258301, 125.736274719238']

    # Geodetic to magnetic local time
    mlat, mlt = apex15.convert(60, 15, 'geo', 'mlt', datetime=atime)
    print("{:.12f}, {:.12f}".format(mlat, mlt))
    56.598316192627, 19.107861709595

    # can also convert magnetic longitude to mlt
    mlt = apex15.mlon2mlt(120, atime)
    print("{:.2f}".format(mlt))
    20.90

If you don't know or use Python, you can also use the command line. See details
in the full documentation (link in the section below).
