ShapeModel.read(file_name=None, conversion=1.0)[source]

This method reads data from a SPC Shape file (normally SHAPEFILES/*.TXT) and populates the attributes of this class with that data.

If file_name is not specified the file_name attribute of the class is used instead.

The argument conversion can be used to convert from the SPC units (nominally km) to another unit for the vertices.

Parameters:

  • file_name (Path | str | None) – The file to load the Shape data from

  • conversion (Real) – The conversion to apply to the verticies to change their units
