Method Details

### __init__ (self, hs, p) (Constructor) |
(INTERNAL) Set up the grid axes, the `SciPy` interpolator and several internal geoid attributes. Arguments: `hs` - Grid knots with known height (`numpy 2darray`). `p` - The `slat, wlon, nlat, nlon, dlat, dlon` and other geoid parameters (`INTERNAL`). Raises: `GeoidError` - Invalid `kind`. `SciPyError` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` issue. `SciPyWarning` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` warning as exception. Overrides: object.__init__

### __call__ (self, *llis) (Call operator) |
Interpolate the geoid height for one or several locations. Arguments: `llis` - The location or locations (`LatLon`, ... or `LatLon`s). Returns: A single interpolated geoid height (`float`) or a list or tuple of interpolated geoid heights (`float`s). Raises: `GeoidError` - Insufficient number of `llis` or an invalid `lli`. `RangeError` - An `lli` is outside this geoid's lat- or longitude range. `SciPyError` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` issue. `SciPyWarning` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` warning as exception. Overrides: heights._HeightBase.__call__

### __repr__ (self) (Representation operator) |
Default `repr(self)`. Overrides: object.__repr__ (inherited documentation)

### __str__ (self) (Informal representation operator) |
Default `str(self)`. Overrides: object.__str__ (inherited documentation)

### center (self, LatLon=None) |
Return the center location and height of this geoid. Arguments: `LatLon` - Optional class to return the location and height (`LatLon`) or `None`. Returns: If `LatLon` is `None`, a LatLon3Tuple`(lat, lon, height)` otherwise a `LatLon` instance with the lat-, longitude and height of the grid center location.

### height (self, lats, lons) |
Interpolate the geoid height for one or several lat-/longitudes. Arguments: `lats` - Latitude or latitudes (`degrees` or `degrees`s). `lons` - Longitude or longitudes (`degrees` or `degrees`s). Returns: A single interpolated geoid height (`float`) or a list of interpolated geoid heights (`float`s). Raises: `GeoidError` - Insufficient or non-matching number of `lats` and `lons`. `RangeError` - A `lat` or `lon` is outside this geoid's lat- or longitude range. `SciPyError` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` issue. `SciPyWarning` - A `scipy.interpolate.inter2d` or `-.RectBivariateSpline` warning as exception.

### highest (self, LatLon=None, **unused) |
Return the location and largest height of this geoid. Arguments: `LatLon` - Optional class to return the location and height (`LatLon`) or `None`. Returns: If `LatLon` is `None`, a LatLon3Tuple`(lat, lon, height)` otherwise a `LatLon` instance with the lat-, longitude and height of the highest grid location.

### lowerleft (self, LatLon=None) |
Return the lower-left location and height of this geoid. Arguments: `LatLon` - Optional class to return the location (`LatLon`) and height or `None`. Returns: If `LatLon` is `None`, a LatLon3Tuple`(lat, lon, height)` otherwise a `LatLon` instance with the lat-, longitude and height of the lower-left, SW grid corner.

### lowerright (self, LatLon=None) |
Return the lower-right location and height of this geoid. Arguments: `LatLon` - Optional class to return the location and height (`LatLon`) or `None`. Returns: If `LatLon` is `None`, a LatLon3Tuple`(lat, lon, height)` otherwise a `LatLon` instance with the lat-, longitude and height of the lower-right, SE grid corner.

### lowest (self, LatLon=None, **unused) |
Return the location and the lowest height of this geoid. Arguments: `LatLon` - Optional class to return the location and height (`LatLon`) or `None`. Returns: If `LatLon` is `None`, a LatLon3Tuple`(lat, lon, height)` otherwise a `LatLon` instance with the lat-, longitude and height of the lowest grid location.

### outside (self, lat, lon) |
Check whether a location is outside this geoid's lat-/longitude or crop range. Arguments: `lat` - The latitude (`degrees`). `lon` - The longitude (`degrees`). Returns: A 1- or 2-character `str` if outside or an empty `str` if inside.

### toStr (self, prec=3, sep=`'``,` `'`) |
