Mapping

District Mapping

Defines the algorithms that perform the mapping from precincts to districts.

Voronoi Mapping

class distopia.mapping.voronoi.VoronoiMapping(**kwargs)

Uses the Voronoi algorithm to assign precincts to districts.

add_fiducial(location, identity)

Adds a new fiducial at location.

Parameters

location – The fiducial location (x, y).

Returns

The (assigned) ID of the fiducial.

apply_voronoi()

Not thread safe.

assign_precincts_to_districts(n_districts, pixel_district_map)

Uses the pre-computed precinct and district maps and assigns all the precincts to districts.

Returns list of precincts, per district. Indices correspond with the district identity index in unique_ids as filled into pixel_district_map.

compute_district_pixels(fiducials, fiducials_identity, unique_ids)

Computes the assignment of pixels to districts and creates the associated districts.

fiducials and fiducials_identity must be sorted such that they correspond to each other. All ids must be in unique ids. pixel_district_map is filled in with the index of the district identity in unique_ids to make it 0-n-1.

districts = []

A list of all current distopia.district.District instances.

fiducial_locations = {}

dict of tuples, each containing the (x, y) coordinates of the fiducial at that key.

get_fiducials()

Returns a dict of the fiducials, keys are their ID.

get_pos_district(pos)

The district under the fiducial.

Parameters

pos – position.

Returns

The district under the position, or None if none.

move_fiducial(fiducial, location)

Moves fiducial from its previous location to a new location.

Parameters

• fiducial – fiducial ID as returned by add_fiducial().

• location – The new fiducial location (x, y).

pixel_district_map = None

A width by height matrix, where each item is the district index in districts it belongs to. Read_only (used by the thread).

precincts = []

A list of all the distopia.precinct.Precinct instances.

remove_fiducial(fiducial)

Removes fiducial from the diagram.

Parameters

fiducial – fiducial ID as returned by add_fiducial().

screen_size = (1920, 1080)

The size of the screen, in pixels, on which the districts and precincts are drawn, and on which the fiducials are drawn.

It’s (width, height)

set_precincts(precincts)

Adds the precincts to be used by the mapping.

Must be called only (or every time) after screen_size is set.

Parameters

precincts – List of distopia.precinct.Precinct instances.

sites = []

A list of tuples describing the x, y coordinates of each of the objects placed by the user at that location.

voronoi_finite_polygons_2d(vor)

Reconstruct infinite voronoi regions in a 2D diagram to finite regions.

based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/20678647.

vorVoronoi

Input diagram

regionslist of tuples

Indices of vertices in each revised Voronoi regions.

verticeslist of tuples

Coordinates for revised Voronoi vertices. Same as coordinates of input vertices, with ‘points at infinity’ appended to the end.

Collider

The collider module contains classes which can be used to test membership of a point in some space. See individual class documentation for details.

To use it you first have to cythonize the code. To do that, cd to the directory containing collider.pyx and:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

class distopia.mapping._voronoi.PolygonCollider

PolygonCollider checks whether a point is within a polygon defined by a list of corner points.

rect is (x, y, width, height)

Based on http://alienryderflex.com/polygon/

For example, a simple triangle:

>>> collider = PolygonCollider([10., 10., 20., 30., 30., 10.],
... cache=True)
>>> (0.0, 0.0) in collider
False
>>> (20.0, 20.0) in collider
True

The constructor takes a list of x,y points in the form of [x1,y1,x2,y2…] as the points argument. These points define the corners of the polygon. The boundary is linearly interpolated between each set of points. The x, and y values must be floating points. The cache argument, if True, will calculate membership for all the points so when collide_point is called it’ll just be a table lookup.

bounding_box()

Returns the bounding box containing the polygon as 4 points (x1, y1, x2, y2), where x1, y1 is the lower left and x2, y2 is the upper right point of the rectangle.

get_inside_points()

Returns a list of all the points that are within the polygon.
