Control Point Object Service

For accessing control points in windPRO. Control points can be loaded with a Get method and send back to windPRO wiht a Set method. Three different point types can be set that are listed below.

An example for using the control point can be found below.

# Opening windPRO
_windproapi = WindProApi()

project_path = os.path.join(working_dir, 'ObjCtrlPointService.w36p')
_windproapi.start_windpro_random_port()

# Project service for making a new project
project_service = _windproapi.get_service('ProjectService')
objects_service = _windproapi.get_service('ObjectsService')
obj_ctrl_point_service = _windproapi.get_service('ObjCtrlPointService')

# Project path and location
lng = 10.
lat = 55.

# Making a new empty project and saving it
project_service.NewProject(lng=lng, lat=lat, filename=project_path)

# Make new control point object
obj = objects_service.AddObject(apiObjType='CtrlPoint',
                                lat=55.,
                                lng=10.,
                                userDesc='New CtrlPoint')

# Get object with more detail
ctrl_point_obj = obj_ctrl_point_service.GetCtrlPointObject(obj.Handle)

print(ctrl_point_obj)

# Modify object
ctrl_point_obj.UncertaintyHorz = 1000
ctrl_point_obj.UncertaintyVert = 1000
ctrl_point_obj.CtrlPointType = 'ApicptUncertainty'
ctrl_point_obj.Color.Green = 0

# Sending changes back to windPRO
nan_to_skipvalue(ctrl_point_obj)
obj_ctrl_point_service.SetCtrlPointObject(ctrl_point_obj)
