Source code for honeybee.orientation

"""Collection of utilities for assigning different properties based on orientation.

The functions here are meant to be adaptable to splitting up the compass based on
however many bins the user desires, though the most common arrangement is likely
to be a list of 4 values for North, East South, and West.

Usage:

.. code-block:: python

    # list of constructions + materials to apply to faces of different orientations
    ep_constructions = [constr_north, constr_east, constr_south, constr_west]
    rad_materials = [mat_north, mat_east, mat_south, mat_west]

    # check that the inputs align with one another
    all_inputs = [ep_constructions, rad_materials]
    all_inputs, num_orient = check_matching_inputs(all_inputs)

    # assign properties based on orientation
    angles = angles_from_num_orient(num_orient)
    for face in hb_faces:
        orient_i = face_orient_index(face, angles)
        if orient_i is not None:
            constr, mat = inputs_by_index(orient_i, all_inputs)
            face.properties.energy.construction = constr
            face.properties.radiance.modifier = mat
