kastnerp/climateradials

A python tool to create radial plots of EnergyPlus EPW weather/climate data.

ClimateRadials

I got inspired by this way of visualizing climate data with radial plots and wanted to recreate it in Python.

Demo

Installation

Clone the repository and navigate into the repository folder:

pip install git+https://github.com/kastnerp/ClimateRadials@master

Usage

It supports both a line and bar plot:

from  climateradials import *

r = radial("C:\\DAYSIM\\wea\\CAN_ON_Ottawa_CWEC.epw")
r.plot_bars(export = True)
r.plot_line()

You may pass several arguments to change the appearance:

def plot_line(self, size=None, dpi=600, x=None, y=None, ymin=None, ymax=None,  yorigin=None, cmap=None, fileName=None, export=False):

Results

Bar plot

Line plot

Notes

The package contains a hardcopy of the epw package as it is not currently released as a package on pip.

ToDo:

• Selection which variable to plot
• Incorporate precipitation
• Code readability
• Speed-up post-processing
• Python packaging for 'pip'
