StripContour.generate_pattern(spacing: float = 0, depth: float = 0, heat_depth: float = 0, side: str = 'right', heat_delay: float = 0, topo_scale: int = 1) → driptorch.pattern.Pattern#

Generate a flank fire ignition pattern

Parameters

spacingfloat, optional: Staggering distance in meters between igniters within a heat
depthfloat, optional: Horizontal distance in meters between igniters and heats
heat_depthfloat, optional: Depth in meters between igniter heats. If None, heat_depth is equal to igniter depth. Defaults to None.
heat_delayfloat, optional: Delay in seconds between igniter heats. Defaults to 0.
sidestr, optional: Side of the firing vector to start the ignition. Defaults to ‘right’. Options are ‘left’ or ‘right’.
topo_scale: int, optional: Scale factor for topographic influence on ignition paths. Defaults to 1.
