momepy.cell_alignment

momepy.cell_alignment(left_orientation, right_orientation)

Calculate the difference between cell orientation and the orientation of object.

\[\left|{\textit{building orientation} - \textit{cell orientation}}\right|\]

Parameters:

left_orientationnp.array, pd.Series

The np.array, or pd.Series` with orientation of cells. This can be calculated using orientation().

right_orientationnp.array, pd.Series

The np.array or pd.Series with orientation of objects. This can be calculated using orientation().

Returns:

Series

Notes

left_orientation and right_orientation must be aligned or have an index.

Examples

>>> from libpysal import graph
>>> path = momepy.datasets.get_path("bubenec")
>>> buildings = geopandas.read_file(path, layer="buildings")
>>> tessellation = momepy.morphological_tessellation(buildings)

Measure orientations:

>>> blg_orient = momepy.orientation(buildings)
>>> tess_orient = momepy.orientation(tessellation)

Compute alignment:

>>> momepy.cell_alignment(blg_orient, tess_orient)
